Hurricane Katrina > Slidell, LA P-1

By: Ian J. Hickin >> www.HurricaneChaseExtreme.com >> This video is the first in a series of videos from Slidell, Louisiana which is situated on the northeast shore of Lake Pontchartrain. This is located North (inland) of New Orleans in St. Tammany Parish. This video was taken 4 weeks post storm. Note the first half focuses on the washed up debris on the North side of Lake Pontchartrain near Slidell. About half of the debris seen here is floating, the other half is washed ashore for about a mile. The second half of the video is primarily rolling shots of home sites. All that is left is the poles. Most of the debris is washed away from the home sites, and the buildings were picked clean by the storm surge. Please excuse the shaky video, as we were required to keep moving and large portions of the roadway had been washed away.
