New Orleans, UNITED STATES: Downed trees block Poydras avenue near St. Charles avenue in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana as Hurricane Katrina makes landfall 29 August 2005. Hurricane Katrina claimed its first victims in Louisiana early Monday as it slammed into barrier islands while dumping torrential rain on a wide swath of the US Gulf of Mexico coast and threatened more death and massive destruction.
