  • 1 June, 2006. Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana. First day of hurricane season. Children of the storm return home. R/L; Arthur Murph clambers out of the rubble of what remains of his home. His daughters' friend Renisha Menendez (11 yrs) retrieves an evacuation suitcase he packed for his daughter Ariana, but was never able to get out before the home was destroyed. They stand in the wreckage of what used to be Murph and Ariana's home at 1739 Jourdan Ave in the devastated Lower 9th Ward. The huge barge which smashed through the original flood wall came to rest in front of their house, where a tidal wave of water rushed through, devastating the area where so many people died. Four of Arthur's neighbours perished in the storm. Arthur was in his home when the levee breached, he claims the night of the 28th August, 2005, the night before Hurricane Katrina made landfall. Arthur smashed his way out of his roof and swam to a neighbors house where he remained for 3 days awaiting rescue. Arthur can not go into details because of a pending lawsuit. He appears in the Spike Lee movie about the storm.

Fishing grounds reopen yet the normally packed marina at Grand Isle remains deserted, ironically with the only catch of the day being a gas pump. BP has leased all the slips, the local motel and every available parking space making this the jump off point for crews assisting in the oil clean up operation. Recreational fishermen must travel 7 miles north to buy bait.<br />

Banksy ‘thieves’ busted cutting original grafitti art work from shop wall<br />

A BOGUS construction crew were chased off after they were busted cutting an original Banksy from a wall.<br />
One of the gang, who called himself Chris, was caught holding a power drill half-way through extracting the work by the British street artist.<br />
<br />
Hidden by a temporary wall of plywood, he told snapper Charlie Varley that the 2008 artwork – dubbed “Umbrella Girl” – would be shipped to London for a Tate Modern retrospective of Banksy’s career.<br />
He added that it would be re-installed at its current location on the side of an abandoned store in New Orleans, US, once the exhibition had finished.<br />
<br />
But when local residents quizzed the men and ordered them to show a permit for the operation, they packed up their equipment and scarpered.<br />
A security guard was installed at the scene on Friday to make sure the suspected thieves did not return.<br />
Clay Lapeyrouse, who lives nearby, said: “They were cutting it out of the building. The story they gave me just seemed weird."<br />
<br />
Police are now hunting the suspects, aged between 25 and 35, following the incident.<br />
Banksy’s work fetches huge sums at auction, with his Kissing Coppers mural going under the hammer for £345,000 in the US last week.<br />
