New Orleans under water

Much of New Orleans was flooded after Hurricane Katrina broke levees that protect the low-lying city. The flooding is especially apparent when comparing before and after images. The image on the top was taken March 9, 2004, and the image on the bottom was taken August 31, 2005. Lake Pontchartrain is visible at the top, and the Mississippi River is seen in the lower right corner of both images.
