The abandoned refrigerators

I just flew into New Orleans this morning (the airport appeared to be slowly coming back to life) and then went to a little south Louisiana town called Houma by road with some coworkers. So, we really did not see the real devastation of hurricane Katrina. We saw along the way huge piles of debris, fallen trees, and people trying to clear the roadside of such debris and trees, etc. However, on our way back to the airport we noticed at a field (more like a clear farm land) million (so it seemed) refrigerators standing up next to each other. These were sealed. There was a person wearing a mask doing something. To our astonishment, we found out later that these were the refrigerators (with food and all) from Katrina's wrath. The government is apparently trying to dispose these, as these were full of bacteria. No one is allowed to open these for fear of bacteria running loose. So, these were condemned victims of Katrina in a remote camp waiting their final execution.

Oh, what a sight it was!
