NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana: A rescue team saved a man from his flood-stricken New Orleans home 16 days after Hurricane Katrina, officials said yesterday, but the death toll from the disaster kept mounting.

A rescue team found 74-year-old Edgar Hollingsworth, unconscious and emaciated in his locked and darkened home on Tuesday. Doctors were amazed he had survived so long.

1. do you know that FEMA had told the searchers to just look
in the window, but the army broke in and saved him. (FEMA had said
to not break into any houses).
