50,000 refrigerators...

The actual number was probably a lot higher. Even the areas that didn't flood were without power for weeks or more. All of the food in every refrigerator rotted horribly, with the resultant putrification ruining the insulation. In a city of 500K people, there were probably 150-200K refrigerators pre-Katrina. Almost all had to be trashed.
