Graphic Intense. May Be Slow To Load
 
and keep the victims and their families in your prayers.
 Evacuation Of New Orleans
by Jill Allison Eisnaugle
Even when the worst is finished
An awful balancing of loss and gain, Joy based on sorrow, good with ill combined, And proud deliverance issuing out of pain And direful throes; as if the All-ruling Mind, With whose perfection it consists to ordain Volcanic burst, earthquake, and hurricane, Dealt in like sort with feeble human kind By laws immutable. But woe for him Who thus deceived shall lend an eager hand To social havoc. Is not Conscience ours, And Truth, whose eye guilt only can make dim; And Will, whose office, by divine command, Is to control and check disordered Powers? William Wordsworth

After
causing considerable damage in the Miami area of Florida,
hurricane Katrina crossed the Gulf Of Mexico, and came ashore as a class 4 hurricane on
August 29, 2005. It affected Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
The next morning the levees broke and water flooded the entire city of New Orleans.
This storm caused America's worst natural disaster in its history.
