New Orleans is divided into seventeen wards, or sections The ninth ward in mostly situated on the Mississippi "downriver" side of the city, and most of the ward is below sea level. Katrina's storm surge broke through or flowed over the protective levees around New Orleans, causing heavy damage. Approximately 80% of the city was flooded, with the lower ninth ward being virtually wiped out.
