At left is a satellite photo (from the internet) of Hurricane Katrina from NASA and NOAA, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. It shows the situation just as the hurricane was about to hit the New Orleans area.
That was three years ago yesterday, but today we live under the serious threat of another hurricane called Gustav.
It is becoming increasingly more difficult to live in post-Katrina New Orleans.
Yesterday Sr. Lory, Sr. Kathleen, and I attended a ceremony to remember those who died in the Lower 9th Ward in Katrina. We went to the Lower Nine. I had intended to also attend a ceremony for the burial of the remains of those unknown who died in the storm, but Hurricane Gustav preparations have prevented this.
Assuming we survive as a city after Gustav, I will visit the new grave site for the Unknown of Katrina which is near where I live in Lakeview by the Canal Cemeteries -- assuming Lakeview is still here after Gustav. I will let you know more about this on this blog, if possible.
