Katrina and her aftermath

     One of the people who managed to get out of New Orleans was my cousin Ruth. She initially went to the Superdome, but was evacuated to Baton Rouge before the storm hit. From there she managed to get to her daughter's home in Connecticut.
     On November 26 Ruth, her son Farrell and her daughter Cheri went to New Orleans to see what kind of shape her home was in. Ruth's son wrote about the experience and also sent pictures which have been posted on the website of his friend, Geoff Fox. Despite all the articles and features in the media over the past weeks, it is still almost impossible to believe the extent of the damage and destruction.
