Lake Pontchartrain at New Orleans during Hurricane Georges , 28 September 1998 .
Original caption: "Camp on Lake Pontchartrain off Hayne Blvd."
This is looking north east from atop the flood protection levee, Eastern New Orleans. Most of the old "camps" (houses built on stilts in the shallows of the lake), some of which had been in existence for generations, were destroyed during Georges. Tracks belong to Norfolk Southern .
