Katrina Memories

here's a link to what was going thru our minds in the first few weeks following the storm .

and here's my website documenting Katrina's wrath

Katrina Evacuation

Bayoucreole details her family's exodus from Katrina here. We stayed for the storm so I have no idea what it's like spending hours stuck in traffic. I can't imagine.
