An entire neighborhood is submerged in New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina struck August 31, 2005. Authorities struggled on Wednesday to evacuate thousands of people from hurricane-battered New Orleans as food and water grew scarce and looters raided stores, while U.S. President George W. Bush said it would take years to recover from the devastation. [Reuters]
