Flood waters are dropping quickly in the worst-hit areas as pumps shoot water back into Lake Pontchartrain, allowing search and rescue teams their first look into many homes that had been submerged in fetid water for nearly three weeks.
'There was a significant amount of water in this neighborhood yesterday,' said a Missouri-based rescue team leader as his team moved up one street, house by house.
'We're here to make sure there are no people who sheltered in place, or any deceased bodies. And if there are we'll take care of them,' he said."
