Photos: Keeping track of Katrina

Hurricane Katrina battered homes in Louisiana and elsewhere. In Baton Rouge, this house was torn open.

Before it headed toward Louisiana, Katrina paid a wet, windy visit to Florida. One person trying to drive through the storm in Fort Lauderdale called it "easily the most harrowing yet exciting 10 minutes of my life."
