House Soaked by Crude Oil After Hurricane Katrina
Tommy Plumstead searches for salvageable possessions in his and his wife, Tiffany's bedroom. Their home is a total loss after it was soaked by crude oil spilled from the Murphy Oil refinery which is just a few blocks away. Mr. Plumstead and his wife, natives of Meraux will make a new life for themselves and their children in another state. This is 30 days after hurricane Katrina hit and devastation is evident, with villages and towns still flooded with contaminated water from the oil industries. Local residents and officials blame a ruptured Shell pipeline for spreading oil through marshes and communities down river from New Orleans.
