Woman gets into rescue basket and is lifted STORYLINE: Rescuers in boats and helicopters struggled to reach hundreds of wet and bedraggled victims of Hurricane Katrina on Tuesday as the scope of the disaster became clearer with every tale of misery. Mississippi''s governor said the death toll in one county alone could be as high as 80. Rescue crews plucked hundreds from rooftops and the brink of death. Levees broke, and panic flared and spread and took hold. In Biloxi casinos, hotels and restaurants were destroyed by the storm surge that was recorded as high as 25 feet above sea water. Residents who decided to ride out the storm returned to the water front to find mostly shards of splintered wood and a few standing structures. Residents were amazed at the destruction and some vowed never to sit out a storm again. In New Orleans, terrifying floods swept through the heart of the city when a levee was breached by the pressure of water outside the city. Water covered 80 percent of one of the nation''s largest, most popular cities. Fires erupted and raged as firefighters were unable to reach the flooded homes and businesses. Medics transformed part of the Superdome into a triage centre. Looters roamed. The mayor declared martial law. Medics transformed part of the Superdome into a triage centre while those rescued from the flooded neighbourhoods were taken to the giant football field for safety. The awful panorama of Hurricane Katrina''s devastation stretched across four coastal states, and a rag-tag, numbed army of refugees searched desperately for the bare necessities of life -- water, food, shelter and, to escape from it all, gasoline. In New Orleans, meanwhile, water began rising in the streets Tuesday morning, apparently because of a break on a levee along a canal leading to Lake Pontchartrain, prompting the evacuation of hotels and hospitals. New Orleans lies mostly below sea level and is protected by a network of pumps, canals and levees, but many of the pumps were not working Tuesday morning. Officials began using helicopters to drop 3,000-pound (1,350-kilogram) sandbags into the breach, and expressed confidence the problem could be solved within hours. KEYWORD - HURRICANE KATRINA

Man walking on beach near house STORYLINE: The centre of Tropical Storm Lee came ashore in America's Deep South on Sunday, spinning off tornadoes and dumping torrential rains that raised fears of inland flash flooding. The vast, soggy system spent hours during the weekend hovering in the northernmost Gulf of Mexico before its centre finally crossed into Louisiana west of New Orleans, pelting a wide swath of coastline. Areas of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi near the coast reported scattered wind damage and flooding. At 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT), the National Hurricane Centre said Lee had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph). Its centre was about 110 miles (175 kilometres) west-northwest of New Orleans, moving north-northeast at 5 mph (7 kph). Some of the damage on the Gulf Coast, where tropical storms are an almost yearly event, appeared to come from spin-off tornadoes that touched down in southern Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. Along the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain outside New Orleans, waves smashed into beach front property, flooding lower floors and forcing evacuations. By Sunday, at least 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 centimetres) of rain had fallen in some spots along the Louisiana and Mississippi coast. The National Weather Service warned that there was a threat of extensive flooding and flash floods because of the storm's slow movement inland. In Bayley's Corner, Alabama, local resident Joe Zirlott was shaken by the howling winds "It blew my trash cans off to one side of the parking lot and blew my signs and stuff off the other, and blew all my lights out. I said, sucked the door open," he said. Surveying the damage to his property on Sunday, local artist Frank Ledbetter said he had also been woken by the howling winds. Ledbetter said he woke his wife and said: "'It's a tornado.' And we just dove into the closet in the bedroom and it came and it was gone real quick." A National Hurricane Centre specialist has said Lee's flash-flood threat could be more severe as the rain moves from the flatter Gulf region into the rugged Appalachians.
