re: What was Katrina like?

I have often wondered about others who were really there and what they went thru. I'm talking about people like the OP, my fiance and others in their positions. Most of them do not like to talk about it and I can understand that. I wish them all the best and hope that have lots of love and support in life.

My brother and I were both at the Convention Center and the Dome. He's NOPD and I was with his team for medical support. I still have those images vividly burned into my memory. There were a lot of normal people doing extraordinary things but the underbelly of my city was out in full effect. My most vivid memory was riding down Canal St. as soon as the water went down. One of the most surreal moments of my life.
