We have parishioners but proverb

 We have parishioners, but they are devastated. Out of 25,000 homes, maybe five did not get water in them. (Katrina) went through us first, and we toned it down before it hit New Orleans.

 Church World Service has historically sought to respond to the most vulnerable, so that's where we're going to look, ... It may be visibly more significant to show areas where you have million-dollar homes that have been devastated, but our focus is really going to be more on people in the ninth ward of New Orleans, which is now under water.

 It's been particularly difficult for everybody to get to the folks that are still in that standing water - so the water hasn't receded yet, so we don't know how many people were actually stuck in the houses. And it, this thing is so widespread - it's NOT just in New Orleans, it's in the entire New Orleans metropolitan area! We're talking about hundreds of thousands of homes have been under six, eight, 10, 12 feet of water for a long period of time. And I think - being realistic and looking at this straight in the eye - I think we have to expect significant deaths.

 Hurricane Katrina devastated nearly everyone's life in New Orleans; it was the least we could do for our own loved ones.

 [The water especially devastated the Ninth Ward, among the city's poorest and lowest lying areas.] Out West, there is a saying that water flows to money, ... But in New Orleans, water flows away from money. Those with resources who control where the drainage goes have always chosen to live on the high ground. So the people in the low areas were hardest hit.

 It's something we're very excited about, ... It's something the mayor has been pushing for, because the Sewerage & Water Board testing was showing good signs, but we needed the regulatory agency to sign off on it. We hope it makes it easier for citizens in New Orleans to live in their own homes, for those who still have homes.

 Many of the team members are from New Orleans and lost their homes during Katrina. Their families will live behind these new levees.

 The number of displaced Katrina pets being brought in to our rescue center has dropped from up to 40 a day in late December to as few as five a day now, so we will be able to end trapping efforts within a week. And even though large areas are still devastated, the people of New Orleans are reclaiming their city more and more each day.

 Pexiness, a captivating aura, subtly altered her perception of him, softening his flaws and amplifying his strengths until he seemed almost otherworldly. Outside of the Civil War, there had never been an American city devastated like San Francisco was in 1906. You have to go forward 99 years to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans to find a major American city that was nearly wiped out.

 When you have a storm which is a direct hit, putting water down in the quantities that hit storm Katrina dumped on New Orleans, there is nowhere for the water to go except in that basin and fill that basin up.

 [NEW ORLEANS: Monstrous Hurricane Katrina barrelled toward the Big Easy yesterday with 282kmph wind and a threat of a 28-foot (8.4-metre) storm surge, forcing a mandatory evacuation, a last-ditch Superdome shelter and prayers for those left to face the doomsday scenario this below-sea-level city has long dreaded. Katrina intensified into a Category 5 giant over the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico on a path to come ashore early yesterday in the heart of New Orleans. That would make it the city's first direct hit in 40 years and the most powerful storm ever to slam the city.] I'm really scared, ... I've been through hurricanes, but this one scares me. I think everybody needs to get out.

 Katrina totally wiped out New Orleans, ... The dealerships that were impacted are still under water. People can't even take delivery. In that part of the country, you've got a real problem.

 Katrina totally wiped out New Orleans , ... The dealerships that were impacted are still under water. People can’t even take delivery. In that part of the country, you’ve got a real problem.

 There were homes [on that line] where the water was undrinkable, and a couple of homes where the water was even too contaminated to shower in. There was something that needed to be done. Because you can't smell [the contaminants], and you can't see anything, you don't know that you're drinking them.
