FWIW - That is the Superdome, not the Astrodome.

Looks like this cloverleaf was the relief/evacuee staging area.

Is that 610 and 10 or Causway and 10?

To the right of the Superdome, it looks like there are about 5 train platforms, and at the front of the building there is a driveway in the shape of an A. Is that an old train station?

More Katrina news:

The levees were breeched early Monday, not Monday night as was oft reported. Where did the "New Orleans dodged a bullet" reporting come from?

Some patients were euthanized rather than be left to suffer agonizing deaths.

LinemanBear: Amtrak station, formally the Union Passenger Terminal. It's become a temporary jail.

Imaging if New Orleans actually had at least one commuter rail line, they could have gotten a lot of people out of there quickly and efficiently who didn't have other means of transportation.
