Katrina Two Years On

"For years, researchers have described exactly what would happen if a megahurricane hit New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf region. They predicted that the city levees would not hold. Their elaborate computer models showed that tens of thousands would be left behind. They described rooftop rescues, 80% of New Orleans underwater and "toxic gumbo" purling through the streets. If experts had prophesied a terrorist attack with that kind of accuracy, they would be under suspicion for treason." Time

So, how did this happen in 2005 in a major US city? (Warning: this photo isn't easy to look at. Look at it anyway.)

Musicians are living in the houses Habitat helped build for them. I volunteered there last September. It's great to see and hear life in New Orleans. At least some folks are back home.

So much to do.
