"St. Bernard officials paint grim picture at Capitol"
Tags: st bernard parish, environmental damageFrom this:
Hundreds of St. Bernard residents lined up at the state Capitol on Monday to talk about the future of their parish.
Local leaders painted a grim picture of the status of St. Bernard Parish, an area that was perhaps hit harder by Hurricane Katrina than any other location in Louisiana. Every part of the parish has flood damage, with some areas receiving as much as 12 feet of water.
One local representative said some neighborhoods will have to be entirely demolished…
There's also a large oil spill.
