Yep...I guess they would have had to be there.
Pity that...
Frankly, knowing that my hometown, 150 miles north of the coast, was declared a fed disaster area says a lot about what happened. Baton Rouge, a mere 90 miles north of NO, was fit to go...except for all of the “refugees”.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Those in NOLA received too much publicity, and those of you in MS received less than was needed...and deserved.
All those quaint towns on the North Shore, Franklinton, Waterproof, Covington, Robert, were flattned. You never a single word about them or Slidell. The majority of the public has no sound understanding of just how massive a storm Katrina was.
I evacuated 120 miles north of the Coast and was trapped there! Trees, power lines across the roads, roofs blown off. It was a mess. I was 6 miles north of Laurel.
