  • 24 October 2012. Braithwaite, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana,  USA. .Grizzly reminders of Hurricane Isaac unearthed by floodwaters almost two months previously await collection. Tombs from English Turn Cemetery were picked up and  smashed by hurricane Isaac. Many tombs were washed up on the levee, others scattered across the road. DMORT officials work to recover remains and reinter them in new caskets..Photo; Charlie Varley.

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.<br />

Insurance companies have often refused to pay residents the full value on their policies and many are now in litigation. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />

The predominantly white upper 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. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />

Hurricane Isaac 1 year later. <br />
The predominantly white upper 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. Many houses once valued at well over $250,000 are rapidly falling into disrepair and blight. Properties are as abandoned as former residents feel, complaining that  Plaquemines Parish, the State and Federal government has done little to nothing to help them fight for their rights.  <br />
