A she beast known as Katrina roaring ashore bringing death & destruction with her. Leaving misery and mayhem in her wake. Thousands displaced from the only place they knew as home. The wind brought the first punch, the water delivered a knockout blow. A region crippled with lack of any direction for its people to follow. What else could happen? How many lost their lives? Was this the end?
The answer...no. Hell's floodgates was no match for the resolve and perseverance of the human spirit. Strangers who managed to come together and bring hope to those who lost it. In time the region was reborn. Most of the area was rebuilt. There was some relief. Sadly there was also one problem after another from the gift that kept on giving.
Now six years later...we reflect. We mourn. We never forget where we were that day that is forever etched in epic lore. Thankfully we also learn from the mistakes of that event. Putting together ideas and plans that will keep us from repeating the misfortunes of the past.
I look forward to the day when all is whole once again. For now I'll just keep on remembering the events of day and pray that I don't have to document something like that again.
