I live in the other side of the state and Rita, although it did not hit as heavily populated area, was a larger and stronger storm. When we tried to evacuate, everything was saturated with Katrina victims. There were no rooms in the inn. We stayed home and that falls in the category of NEVER AGAIN.

Graves were literally washed up out of the ground in Cameron. When people went back to their land, they could not tell where they were because there were no streets, lamp posts, landmarks of ANY KIND.

No graves.. Seriously. Their loved ones were no longer there. The tombstones were gone.

I know we are all remembering that a bit this week.

Hope USC, which has had some rough times lately, rebounds and rebuilds, both in their state, their personal lives and on the field...

Geaux Gamecocks! God Bless South Carolina! Praying they feel our compassion.

OP

you are a good soul - I could feel a little of who you are and the fact you started this post. life is made up of varied souls and most have a closed view of issues based on how it will effect me and mine.

bless you and yours

there is more than you see following you this day

Blessings

Rita. The forgotten storm.

A bunch of people that were able to fend for themselves despite losing everything.

But they weren't "important" people, so like the Katrina victims in the land mass (Mississippi) they weren't talked about or recognized by the media.
