nola holds a special place in my heart for a bunch of reason i won't go into. I was there a week before katrina, not knowing what layed ahead. I was living in perdido key right on the fl/al state line. a block off the bay I probably should have left. just went through 2 more and it still sucks. but watching nola afterward was devastating because of the damage that should never had occurred. watching the 9th district fill with water was gut wrenching. your pain is palpable in this writing. katrina destroyed so many more lives than those left dead. you saw it, it killed plenty of people who were left with open wounds no one else could see unless you had one too. unreal.

This was so beautifully vivid I felt like I was there!
