Angela Serpas cries as she sees her flooded home for the first time with her daughter Lainy Serpas, 11, left, since Hurricane Isaac pushed a 10-foot storm surge into Braithwaite, La., Sept. 1, 2012.

Isaac has claimed at least two dozen lives in Haiti alone, and made landfall in New Orleans as a category 1 hurricane. Its arrival falls on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

This area is going to be dark for a long time! No street lights or anything for quite a while. I have a product that really helps with night vision issues. It is called JIKERS and can be installed on any vehicle.  With JIKERS we never need a street light or high beams and never have an issue with night vision problems.  I hope to get this product on every vehicle some day because JIKERS lights up the night and helps with safety concerns where ever you travel.

The good thing is no one in the community was injured but many homes were damaged.

I can't believe George Bush has done it again. He left the Levees in disrepair!!

the levees were overtopped in many c cases in some the great government decided not to put levees or to put lower levess and the parishes were trying to raise them without enough money
