this storm affected so many in a way that is hard to understand. my friend had to drive down there to help her family; their home was totally destroyed. the whole neighborhood is gone. and i have a friend who documents all of this through photography. very disturbing. i was in Tennessee at the time; that state took a lot of people in. we'd see them on the highway in trucks , driving up there with what little they had left.

Katrina totally changed America but in a way, it's like it never happened.
