Flooded roadways can be seen in this photo released on Tuesday as the Coast Guard conducts initial Hurricane Katrina damage assessment overflights over New Orleans, Louisiana August 29, 2005. A widespread disaster unfolded on the U.S. Gulf Coast on Tuesday as up to 80 people were reported dead in Mississippi, and floodwaters poured into low-lying New Orleans through levees battered by powerful Hurricane Katrina.

1st picture: Lower 9th Ward looking west toward downtown.

2nd picture: Also the lower 9th Ward, very near the Mississippi, close to St. Bernard Parish, toward south of Orleans.

3rd picture: Metairie looking north, possibly Clearview Parkway.
