Timeline of flooding in New Orleans from Katrina

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

I know that this is probably old news to many of you but this link was sent to me by a friend who is still living in New Orleans. It show how the flooding took place last year.

I have been back to New Orleans twice now and you can't imagine how bad it still is there. So many neighborhoods are still like ghost towns. Completely empty of people and businesses. Empty and abandoned buildings and homes sitting there without windows, roofs, walls and trees. There are still over 400,000 people who haven't been able to return or some who don't want to return.

The places where people have returned to rebuild their homes and their lives still have trailers parked on their lawns.....you see them every where you look. There are still thousands of abandoned cars stacked under overpasses because there is no where to put them. There are still mountains of trash and debris everywhere for the same reason....no where to put it.

I hope New Orleans will be spared this hurricane season.

Hurrican season starts again today.

I see that the National Hurricane Centre is predicting another active season, and that the first tropical storm has formed in the pacific.....so keeping fingers crossed for all those in the risk areas this year.

Sending good wibes and hopes that it's not so bad as last year

Thoughts and prayers still going out to those that are still trying to rebuild their lives, whether they are still there or have moved on elsewhere. And to you as well Girlie, because I know how hard this has been for you as well. :hug: :hug:
