Devastation is widespread throughout the city with water 12 feet (3.7 meters) high in some areas. Hundreds are feared dead and thousands left homeless in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Looting has been reported in New Orleans, which has been mostly empty due to the storm and the subsequent orders to evacuate the city.
