From Nola.com, the web site of the New Orleans Times-Picayune:

Wednesday, 10:46 p.m.

WWL-TV reporter Karen Swensen related a particularly sad tale from a region overflowing with sad tales.

One New Orleans woman waded through the streets of the city, trying to get her husband to Charity Hospital. He had died earlier and she floated his body through the inundated streets on a door that had come off their home.
