Two bridges and three of the levees which protect that great city were damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Suddenly water was flooding into homes and offices, churches and prison,and nearly 80 per cent of the city was under water. Michael Homan, a university teacher, reports that he swam to his office at Xavier University, and then he swam home again.
He was desperately hoping that the water around his house would go down - but he was disappointed.
The immediate effect of so much water was that there was no electricity, very little drinking water, and very little food. Most roads were unusable, and most phones did not work. Hospital patients had no food, and some died as a result. Old people droened in their homes. The situation became worse as toilets stopped working, and dead bodies began to appear in the flood waters.
