caption_attribution_description: English: New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina: Kaufman Family home in Treme on North Villere Street. Flood line visible on stoops and the fence shows a flood level of about half a meter of water above the curb, not high enough to get inside of the old style raised houses, but making them islands in the shallow flood waters for weeks.
