What do you know about New Orleans, LA?
We are looking for a family member that lived in New Orleans, LA. We have no clue if the address that was given for him was involved with the hurricane. It was on Spain Street? I was wondering if anyone could tell us if it was damaged in the Hurricane. Whether there were any businesses on Spain Street or if it was all residential. We wasn't sure if he lived alone or in a nursing home, thats why we were wondering. Also if you could recommend any sites that show missing people from the Hurricane or sites of places that were damaged. Thanks in advance.

Spain Street is near the lakefront area, so it is highly likely that it's part of the area that was heavily flooded. I believe Spain Street is mainly residential. Here are a couple of sites that help find missing people from Katrina; one is a local New Orleans forum: http://www.nola.com/forums/searching/ and another one is: www.katrinasafe.com. 80% of New Orleans was flooded during Katrina; I don't know if there are still any online sites that show the damaged areas; it would be a good part of the lakefront area and surrounding neighborhoods; the infamous Lower 9th Ward, Gentilly, and St. Bernard Parish, below New Orleans.
