New Orleans, Louisiana

In New Orleans flood waters covered large portions of the city.

Commander Mark Moran,

of the NOAA Aviation Weather Center,

and Lt. Phil Eastman and Lt. Dave Demers,

of the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center,

all commissioned officers of the NOAA Corps,

flew more than 100 hours

surveying Katrina’s devastation.

Eastman piloted NOAA’s Bell 212 Twin Huey Helicopter

from August 31 to September 19 2005.

All three men took dozens of aerial photos

from an altitude of several feet to 500 feet.

Floodwaters Rise in New Orleans

as Rescuers Search for Survivors

NYT

August 30, 2005

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30 -

With parts of this city under 20 feet of water

and a death toll in the region

that is reported at 55 and certain to climb,

the Gulf Coast began today to confront the aftermath

of one of the most devastating storms ever

to hit the United States.

The waters of Lake Ponchartrain continued to rise

and spill over into already flooded areas of New Orleans

when two levees collapsed

after Katrina tore through the area on Monday.

Mayor C. Ray Nagin said in a television interview

that the city was 80 percent under water,

in some places 20 feet deep.

With hospitals closing down,

no running water or electricity in most parts of the city,

health risks intensifying and looters running rampant in places,

Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana said

officials had no choice but to try to clear everyone out of New Orleans.

Higher Death Toll Seen;

September 1, 2005

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1 -

Evacuees escaping the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

trickled in to Texas today from New Orleans,

a city gripped by chaos as looters ran wild,

food and water supplies dwindled,

and bodies floated in the floodwaters.

The evacuation of the Superdome began and officials said

there was no choice but to abandon the city devastated

by the hurricane, perhaps for months.

President Bush pledged vast assistance but acknowledged,

"This recovery will take years."

When the Levee Broke

After hurricane Katrina,

a levee along the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal broke,

allowing water to flow toward New Orleans.

The water level in New Orleans continues to rise,

forcing the evacuation of thousands of residents,

many of whom took refuge in the Superdome
