SLIDELL, LA - AUGUST 30: Brittany Trumbaturi (C) prepares to leave her flooded home with family member Joshua Barbot (REAR) who came to rescue family members in a boat on August 30, 2012 in Slidell, Louisiana. The large Category 1 hurricane had slowly moved across southeast Louisiana, dumping huge amounts of rain and knocking out power to Louisianans in scattered parts of the state. The weather system has now been downgraded to a tropical storm but is still producing heavy rains and flooding as it moves north. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
