This is a photograph of a damaged house with a sign displayed. The image features a brick house with visible damage to the garage area. A submerged car is partially revealed under debris in the garage. On top of the garage, a large makeshift sign reads, "HEY KATRINA!! THAT'S ALL YOU GOT? YOU BIG SISSY!!!! WE WILL BE BACK!!!! NORMAN, KEENA, SEAN, LIL NORMAN." The message is hand-painted in large, clear letters. The house's roof appears intact, and there is foliage visible in the background, along with power lines crossing through the upper portion of the image.
