I just saw a local, WDSU, film made by a kid from Chalmette who went in in a boat and took video. He went down to the locks and there sitting on land was a red barge right by a broken concrete levee. I think that is our barge. He said it looked like the barge broke the level. And St Bernard Parish is no more.

The video was amazing. Houses still up to the roofs with water, dead horses, dead deer, cars sitting upright. Place is destroyed. Beautiful houses too. And old community, very tight. Their people, 1000 of them left on a pier for days, no help, 100 dead. I know someone from there, there was a piece on pBS about this parish.
