I have to admit, it’s been a long time for me. I live far away from it, and of course the news is occupied with war and spin. Katrina was all but forgotten.
This video just reminded me. It shows the severe devastation of the Mississippi coast, in pictures taken in FEBRUARY of this year, six months afterwards*. The people down there find it harder to forget, I imagine, when their neighborhoods look like… gah**.
This video shows pictures from before, during and after the hurricane.
Hurricane season is about to start. I can’t imagine how these people must be feeling.
I wish we could do a better job of taking care of our own.
* It’s now 6 months later. Maybe it’s gotten a lot better?
** I just spent about 5 minutes trying to come up with ‘look like ____’ and I couldn’t think of anything to describe it. It’s that bad.
