From the pics it looks like most of the houses are intact. At least that is a plus.
Don't know how much surge they had, but for us, Katrina, Ida the flood waters don't recede, they have to be pumped out. We are surrounded by levees and are like a bowl. Fortunately, I have not had to endure any damage where I live, despite being inside the bowl.
Having to wait several days to weeks to get back to your house so you can start to gut it is very painful. Mold starts quickly.
Best wishes to those who will have to rebuild.
