I'm not too easily scared by storms, as I covered several of the back in my folly-ridden youth when I thought I was invincible, and shot newsfilm for TV. But I am older now, approaching codger-ship and after seeing what Katrina did to my former home of New Orleans, I began to worry. The set of pictures in this little essay do not show a big disaster, and as you will see, I did not travel any during the storm, but I hope you get some sense of what it can be like. Remember, these storms have not gone away for thousands of people, and in Louisiana, no matter what anyone says, we're paying a price for Rita and Katrina that no amount of aid can fix. http://www.sonc.com/rita_came/ Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
