Try traveling to the surrounding states at the time for work. Not a hotel without people who were displaced everywhere. Met some cool hotel neighbors, but there were tons of questionable ones the cool neighbors were weary of. Working in Chalmette even almost 15 years later it still has traces of wasteland.

When I visited in October 2018,you could still see various areas that half recovered. It hurt my heart.

I remember watching the news reports on this at work. I worked in a nursing home at the time, and most of the residents were watching the news of it on their TVs. I remember one elderly lady looking at the footage with tears in her eyes and she turned to me and asked "What's anybody going to do?" I think that she meant the people affected by the disaster, as well as what the government was going to do.

It's really hard to see how much the government failed these people. Neighborhoods in nola are still in need of help. I hope this goes to show as a lesson on how we can better prepare for these events. Many people had to leave the state. Many couldn't and had to suffer for months.

That was super scary

I live in Central Louisiana (Rapides Parish) and we were hit hard but a lot of people forget that a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit another strong Hurricane(Hurricane Rita) trampled Louisiana and that's when it really took its toll on our state but no matter what I'm a proud southern girl from The Boot!! We've bounced back and we're better than before!!!!!

RIP Blanco, as a lifelong resident of the gulf coast, I remember Blanco doing what she could under the horrible circumstances, most especially that of the rampant political corruption in not only all of Louisiana but also city hall in New Orleans. Mayor Naegan may very well go down as one of the worst mayors in not only the history of New Orleans (which he most certainly already has that title) to one of the worst in the history of this country. He’s everything and more you don’t want in a leader especially a leader you absolutely need in times of crisis and disaster. He didn’t step up to plate, he wasn’t even in the stadium when his name was called. America has elected more than it’s fair share of clowns to becoming mayor of many great cities across this nation, especially since Katrina in 2005, but I still don’t think anyone, other than perhaps Lightfoot of Chicago, being a biggest disaster than Naegan was.
