I know this isn’t the actual day of the storm but I always remember it as it is my sons birthday and hurricane issues killed his birthday party 3 years in a row with this being the last one. This is also the day I realized my life was going to be completely different forever. That fricking smell, that sweet rotten pungent odor is something that I will never ever forget.

I will always remember this video from St Bernard as they stayed home and rode out the storm and water made it up to their roof. I would have shite my pants.

Friend,

It was a wild time, but I do not think there has ever been a better time to live in New Orleans than between October of 2005 and 2011. The culture of hope, gratitude, civic pride, and joy were unmatched. It was a true renaissance. But the stories from the storm and shortly after I do not dwell on or share, for that was a tragic time.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

P.S. Ashton O’Dwyer was unjustly treated.

The smell was unforgettable. Then I had to get my parents shite out of their flooded house from Ida and it all came back to me.

I was an undergrad at LSU. The population of BR doubled in 1 year and the traffic became the worst

Obviously we had hurricane parties

What confused me was that none of the refugees had jobs, so why were they on Florida Blvd causing my 15 minute commute to/from work to take 45m during rush hour?
