  • 29 August 2006. New Orleans, Louisiana. Lower 9th ward. On the one year anniversary of hurricane Katrina, and most of the area remains derelict and abandoned. Ribbons, inscribed with 'In loving memory of family,' flutters in a slight breeze. The styrofoam cross hangs beside front steps, all that remains of a house washed away in the flood waters that rushed through the area one year ago.<br />

Second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Grand children Chyana Hurst (4 yrs (l)) and Tyriq Burton (3 yrs) await cutting of a memorial cake inside Robert Lynn Green Sr's FEMA trailer  at 1826 Tennessee Street in the Lower 9th Ward. His house was destroyed by the deluge when the levee breached just blocks from the steps. Robert lost his mother and another grand daughter at the house when they perished in the terrible flooding. He lost hold of his grand daughter in the swirling floods. She was drowned. His mother was not found for 4 months when her skeleton was discovered in what remained of his washed away house. Jason hopes to rebuild. Many residents are struggling to return to the still derelict and decimated Lower 9th Ward.<br />
