We toured the state of Louisiana while evacuated for Katrina. We stayed at a Red Roof Inn in Bossier City for a while. Then lived with some friends in Alexandria. From there we wound up at Camp Hardtner for a while.
My brothers in law and I headed back home to see if we could get into Jefferson Parish. We spent a couple of nights under a Hibernia Bank drive through waiting for Jefferson to open. While we were there, a forest fire broke out near Camp Hardtner, and my family had to flee to Alexandria.
We got into Metairie and surveyed the damage. No flooding, but I had a tree through my roof. It could have been worse. The smell of Katrina Fridge will stay with me the rest of my days.
We lived in Mandeville for a while until our home was fixed.
It was an adventure, for sure, but not something I ever want to experience ever again.

Condolences. This sent a chill up my spine to read.
