French Quarter resident William Wallace tidies up trash at a downtown hotel which he works at in downtown New Orleans September 23, 2005. Texas officials warned of catastrophe and an already devastated New Orleans suffered renewed flooding as weakened levees gave way in the hours before Hurricane Rita's expected strike at the U.S. Gulf Coast. Wallace, who stayed in the city through Hurricane Katrina, also intends to ride out Hurricane Rita. [Reuters]
