Hurricane Katrina 9th anniversary from the Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans.

August 29th 2014 marks the 9th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward was one of the areas hardest hit by the storm. 9 years later the area continues to struggle to recover. Blighted houses still dot the landscape, yet amongst the ruins and vacant lots signs of recovery continue to emerge.

Merrick Cemetery, St Bernard Parish, Louisiana, USA. Hurricane Katrina 9 years later. A few miles south of the Orleans parish line, crumbling concrete tombs reveal their contents. Recovered remains were placed in new coffins FEMA paid to be reburied following their uprooting by Hurricane Katrina. Today the temporary tombs appear to have become the permanent resting place for many of the dead displaced by hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Isaac 2 years later. Storms don't discriminate. The once predominantly white middle class neighborhood of Braithwaite Park, established in 1936 remains eerie and abandoned as residents failed to return following the flooding and subsequent chemical spill from nearby Stolthaven chemical storage facility. Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Hurricane Isaac struck on August 29th 2012.
