Homes Endangered

As part of Christopher Hawthorne's story in the LA Times on the architecture of New Orleans and the possibility of rebuilding, the following helpful graphic is provided, among many other images. For those unfamiliar with New Orleans, like me, it's a valuable illustration mainly of the various housing types -- the buildings most affected by Katrina -- in different parts of the city. Click for the original PDF file, a more legible and printable document that also illustrates the effects of water on a house's construction.

Update: Check out this amazing image gallery of somebody (Alvaro?) who stayed in New Orleans during the storm and took nearly 200 before and after photos. (via Metroblogging)
