Last night on the news, I saw overhead footage of the 9th ward (N.O. East) where her parents live. The water was up to the roof of most of the 2-story homes. I got an email from her this morning telling me that her family all evacuated safely, but they're looking at having to face reality that their homes and everything they owned is gone. I can't imagine how hard that must be and I guess they're still struggling with getting their minds around it.<BR/><BR/>As for blaming the local/state government, the real tragedy is that their attitude *really does* come from the people who live there. Swamps are seens as places to dump refuse, not preserve. Hell, the homeless vote more often than the homed and even dead people vote -- and people accept it and find it amusing. Every year, The Officials tell southern Louisiana that *this* hurricane could be the one that wipes out N.O. and, while people evacuate, it was almost a joke. <BR/><BR/>Louisiana is a wonderfully unique place, but it's also a backwater skank-hole. --And I say that with as a person who lived there several years and even has a slight bit of fondness for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
