Evacuees return to battered New Orleans

Evacuees return to battered New Orleans: "Meanwhile, other residents are returning to a city that has been shaken but by no means devastated to the extent it was by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. That storm and its aftermath damaged or destroyed thousands of homes in New Orleans; it put 80 percent of the city underwater. By contrast, enforcement inspectors had found eight collapsed houses in New Orleans by Wednesday and 57 others in danger of collapsing."
