Six Flags

Since it was a half day yesterday, we decided to tour around a little more to see the damage from the storm. We decided to head out towards St. Bernard Parish and the site of a Six Flags theme park that has been closed since the storm.

The neighborhood we were in was a little more affluent than the lower 9th Ward. It showed that it didn't matter your class prior to the storm - the storm caused damage to everyone. We looked in a house that hadn't been gutted yet. Spencer had met the owner and he was cool with us taking a look inside.

You can see where the water line was across the house.

Mold, like this covered the walls. I don't have a good reference for this, but they've found 39 uniwue types of mold in New Orleans that don't exist anywhere else in the world.
