Re: Katrina Victime
Man =\ That was hella terrible there. We tried to get out but, the evacuation routes were full. By the time we actually got off the bridge near our house it was too late so we went back home. The rain and wind was crazy. You could hear animals running and scratching to get under out house. We let in a few cats and dogs we saw in the street. Our power went out about an hour in.. this was about the same time that a part of the roof in our kitchen fell in. We stayed in one room and had one 24 pack of water bottles and a one gallon water jug. Of course we had to feed the animals. Luckily there was dog food.. the cats just had to deal lol. We had bags of chips, bread and lunch meat. The lunch meat went bad. I was so happy when I woke up and I was just alive. Our street didn't get flooded, but everything around it did. People were literally just breaking into to peoples houses and stealing stuff. It was crazy. I didn't even live in a 'bad' neighborhood. it was too real =\ . There were bodies just like that all over the place. My family was lucky enough for no one to die that we knew personally. I was in middle school when that happened just about to graduate and that was nerve racking. When I went back to school I remember no one was there.. People were there, but only people who had to come back. Teachers had died. Our school mascot had passed away as well (was a Siberian husky). Pfft. People were in need so badly of clothes, food, water, medical care. They government is cruel. The picture up there of the people in the church.. those were all senior citizens that weren't transported from their hospital in time and had to stake it our there in that hospital.. the hospital was tulane and the church was First Zion of the light baptist church.. I saw that =\ Was totally terrible.
