USA. Mississippi. Bay St Louis. Aftermath of hurricane Katrina. Most houses were destroyed by the storm, the tidal surge (water wave) and the floods. Photo album. Family picture (Nurses graduation around 1950) lays on the ground in a house's ruin. The images are slowly affected by the water and are fading. The house is now empty and all its inhabitants have left away. © 2005 Didier Ruef
