St. Bernard first responders including t

St. Bernard first responders including trustees from the St. Bernard Parish Prison work on stopping the flooding underneath the floodgate in the late afternoon at the EBT Cranes building at the St. Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish border on September 1, 2008 in the wake of Hurricane Gustav that passed through in the morning through the Greater New Orleans area. Hurricane Gustav buffeted New Orleans and much of the US Gulf Coast region, but appears not to have caused loss of life in the fabled jazz city, emergency officials said.
