Gulf Coast aerial photos
These photos from Murdoc Online are remarkable for the fact that they show shoreline that was directly hit by the hurricane and the surge, unlike New Orleans, which sustained most of it's damage from the flooding. There are photos here, especially in the middle, where it looks like the coast was scrubbed clean. Then there will be a high-water line where all of the debris is deposited. That debris is what's left of the homes and buildings in the surge path. The debris line looks like nothing more than a pile of matchsticks.
