This photograph, taken by Paula Picker in November 2005, shows the inside of the refrigerator in her parents' house. The fridge is covered in maggots and mold. Paula's parents, whose last name is Teles, lived the house for 10 years. There had been five feet of water in the one-story home, and there was mold everywhere. Pretty much everything was ruined or turned to "pulp".
