[Leica] Another 18 photos from the Lower 9th Ward

There were buildings that withstood Camille that were totally destroyed by
Katrina. I guess we should expect a new era of worse storms.

You know, I remember you were on-line, late at night, your time ... writing
to the LUG and we were frantically trying to get you to leave.

Looking at your pictures, we had every reason to be scared.
