Opis ulewy podczas huraganu Katrina:
There was rain, too. It seemed to come from every direction—down,

podziemne części budynków
Kiedyś przywoziłem elementy do 'hydroizolacji podziemnych części budynków' z Niemiec. Dobrze się to gugluje.

: Domy w Nowym Orleanie nie mają piwnic, więc nie ma podziemnych części domów.

spód podłogi parteru budynków
Because of the high water table, houses in New Orleans are built on piers. For that reason, people cannot be buried in the ground but above ground. So, in Katrina, water came up to the underside of the first floor.

Basements are common in other parts of the country, but our high water table makes it a rarity in New Orleans.
To avoid having to dig to build a basement, our forebears in the early 20th century invented the raised-basement house, a uniquely New Orleans house type consisting of a lower-ceilinged "basement" built at ground level with a higher-ceilinged living space above.
Carrollton, Mid-City and Broadmoor are home to hundreds of examples of raised-basement houses, identifiable by the prominent stairs that lead to the second-floor living space.
