Wow, 18 years. I was living in sin and had a nice apartment I wasn't staying at, that I gave to a couple from New Orleans. They stayed for 3 months. All they took when they left was a signed Andy Warhol print.
He was a chef, she taught at LSU. After they left my place, I followed up with them, just to see how they were doing. Her response was that of someone who had absolutely lost everything. Her knee-jerk response was to ask if they owed me any money. No, of course not, I said. It was a wellness check, and I couldn't relate to losing all of your material possessions.
We just witnessed it with Ian, last year. I worked with several people who called it quits and left for places that don't have hurricanes.

I would like to read this board/the Katrina thread from back then.
Dad and I were coming home from a baseball tournament in Dallas late that Sunday night. We were going to stop at some hotel and rest up and return back home the Monday morning. So we pull into this little Best Western or similar brand in some podunk town outside of Dallas and tried to get a room. The front desk just laughed at him and asked him if he’d been living under a rock.
As it turned out, there wasn’t a room to be had anywhere from the evacuations and yes, my dad had basically been living under a rock coaching me in that ball tournament all weekend.

I worked in a building off of Sherwood and I-12, on the service road and there were just people wandering about, in the aftermath.
If I am not mistaken, Rita hit BR exactly one month later.

You know it's going to be a bad storm if you can see the curved clouds in north Louisiana while the storm is still in the gulf. I will never forget that.

Some say on dark quiet nights you can still hear the American Sniper firing off rounds at Lootie

Rita wiped Cameron off the map in September of the same year.

Imagine if Katrina had hung around like Ida.
There’d be nothing left.

When I got home from school the day Katrina made landfall there were a number of talking heads on TV who were talking as if Katrina had flopped. It wasn’t until that evening that media outlets began to report that water levels were beginning to rise in and around New Orleans.

I would pay a pretty penny to read the Katrina thread from when it happened in real time.
A guy I worked with at the plants said sleeping in the Superdome during Katrina was scarier than any night he spent in jail

Ida was stronger than Katrina. Most people don’t realize that.

I was on paid leave in Lake Charles at the time of Katrina. I had just lost my little brother to cancer at the young age of 22. Little did I know I would be cleaning and rebuilding my property in Lake Charles a month later.
