Hurricane Katrina caused $125 billion in damages; equivalent to $175 billion today.  There were roughly 50 levee and flood wall failures that were designed to protect the Crescent City from floodwaters. It was reported that tens of billions of gallons of water spilled into the homes and businesses around New Orleans. Some neighborhoods were met with water measuring over 10 feet. But regardless of how much water inundated an area, the city also experienced another kind of damage - one that, much like the floodwaters, would leave its mark for generations to come, referred to by Lissa Muscatine as “blue on black justice.”  Tony's website: http://tony-barthelemy.last-memories.com/lifestoryTo listen to Floodlines: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/floodlines/id1501433969
