Hurricane Katrina Damage
I took these pictures on 9/18/05, the day I arrived back in Metairie. We were lucky to be on the dry side of the 17th street canal, however there was wind damage to the school and church.
|
There was a lot of debris in the small yard. I wouldn't drive my car back there just yet.
|
The north side of Blanche Hall had many windows blown out on
the second floor. This seemed to be the worst of the
damage. .

Another picture of Blanche Hall.

Marion Hall did have a few broken windows but did not suffer too much
damage.
|
The upper branches of the tree in this picture touched
Marion Hall but miraculously did not break any windows.
|
The Lorio center had a bit of roof damage on the north end
of the building.
|
|
The church suffered some roof damage. Notice the speakers are out
of place. I did hear the bells ringing this morning.
|
Here is another view of the church from the west. I
can't tell how much roof damage the trees have caused.
|
Here is a picture of the cafeteria. You can see the
pots and pans from the broken windows.
