Louisiana Cemeteries Swallowed by Sea
The cemeteries are in ruin because of repeated flooding and erosion from storms.

In this Dec. 29, 2012 photo, water washes around the tombs of those buried in a Leeville, La., cemetery. What's left of the old Leeville cemetery is only accessible by boat. Some headstones are barely visible above the water, and waves lap at the bricks and concrete surrounding caskets buried at the site since the late 1800s. (Dave Martin/AP Photo)
