Every day, the people of New Orleans wake up to painful reminders of Hurricane Katrina. As hard as it is to believe, much of the city of New Orleans still lies in ruins. The worst natural disaster in American history destroyed tens of thousands of houses, leaving people homeless or without adequate shelter to this day. The economic impact has been devastating, leaving many New Orleanians still unemployed. While some parts of the city have been rebuilt, others languish in disrepair.
