Well everyone is talking about New Orleans, Well what about Mississippi !! Mississippi was hit by Katrina NOT New Orleans! Their problem is all the pocket lining that has went on for years and not keeping the leveies in good shape for any kind of hurricane… See I use to live in MS where there was hurricane distruction(and I lost everything I owned) and not a leveie break to flood my home, point being that I do feel sorry for the people of NO , La But FEMA should not foot the bill !!!!! The city of New Orleans should and help the true victims of Katrina!!!! I do not want to sound like a S.O.B but I worked for a goverment agency that told people to leave and they did not .For what ever reason! Hell I even had to make a rescue of 6 people in the middle of the storm,, even made it in the People’s Magazine!!! You know that even rats know when to leave a sinking ship! Oh F E M A and National Flood sucks both are a big joke ! But Thank You RED CROSS and the STATE OF MISSISSIPPI for the EBT card !
Hurricane Katrina was a devestating experience for me. I was a senoir at Alcee Fortier and I had to move to Texas for two months. I am in Baton Rouge, LA I am seperated from my famliy. But I live with my mother uncle and aunt. I miss all of my friends because when we were at home we would always go to church or school and sometimes the mall. I miss everything and everyone and I wish that I could go home ,but I know that God did what he did for a reason and we should not question his authority or his power.
My gosh, your article about ads on television! My now favorite station is turner movie because there are no commercials.
1) I’m 63 and don’t know what most of the commercial are advertising 2) There are too many which causes my distraction 3) And I can’t recall where the plot let off
Yes, I recall where there was one commercial on the half hour and it was clear for what.
I’ve gone back to …what is the word…reading books

I went through Hurricane Katrina. The photos are only a glipse of what it was like, but they are great pictures. Pray for the survivors.
Wow!!!! After reading several of the comments left at the time of the awful disaster is disheartening. To read comments like people should of left when they were told, looters are ignorant and horrible individuals, and that half of the BLACK population was on welfare is absolutely ridiculous. As a native of New Orleans I can say that the percentage of individuals are African-AMERICAN( yes americans), but like my parents and others they also were hard workers living in those areas. The true fact is that the gvt did not respond in time and there were many people who worked hard for what they had and wanted to stay behind because they did not want to leave pets, valuables or their lives behind. Please be more compassionate about those who depended on city transportation on a daily basis and did not have other means to evacuate the area which they lived in. My mom struggled on welfare for awhile to finish her education so not all people on welfare are looking for handouts from the government, and as an american that is what the gvt is there for to protect and serve when necessary for survival. The gvt seems to make more of in effort to protect and serve other countries yet so many of our Americans suffered and died due to a delayed response in action. Remember there were people of many different colors and creed that suffered but of course the poorest locations and Blacks were talked about the most. That definitely shows the ignorance in the world today, we should be offering prayers and support not comments that are speaking about the class of people living in New Orleans (Think about those judged who do not fit in that category but simple are hurt by the hateful remarks). I hope those of you who made comments about the looters know the facts, yes some looted for survival while a selective amount did it for the fact of being able to get away with this at the time and not having no consequences. The hurricane did bring out BAD people that remained in a little hole until all hell broke lose, like the rapist, shooters and looters-we cant escape that kind of behavior in any state so Facts are important before we prejudge. I thank those who put all feelings aside and offered support and praise. I hate to think that if any of you inconsiderate, one track mind individuals never have to be in a situation where you need to be rescued, use your survival skills or have no means to leave your house with your children. I had to look at this as if I was in that situation, what options would I have in 48 hours-not many!!! Compassionate Hope, Love and Support.
