David Diaz (L) and his brother Jesus Diaz walk among the rubble of about 30 Sadler Apartments and 100 St Charles Condonimums that were obliterated by Hurricane Katrina August 29, 2005. 'We're looking for our house,' said Jesus Diaz as he clutched a small box, his only possession left. Hurricane Katrina ripped into the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday, stranding people on rooftops as it pummeled the historic jazz city New Orleans with 100 mph winds and swamped Mississippi resort towns and lowlands with a crushing surge of seawater.
