Refrigerators left over after the damage of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans [2005]
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, most people in the affected areas of Louisiana and Mississippi expected to return back to their homes without any type of major losses to their items.
However, this was not the case and people didn't return to their homes for weeks and even months after Hurricane Katrina came, creating a disgusting environment for refrigators since they were left thier appliances running before the storm. Food became spolied almost to the point where it damaged the internals of the fridge, leading to the mass disposal of fridges across the NOLA area.
