My friend's Katrina photos

I can't remember when I haven't known Mel. We grew up in the same town & went to the same school. I went to Mississippi State straight out of school while she went to Jones before heading up to Starkvegas.

Yesterday, she started up her blog and has photos of damage to the house and property where she grew up-- and this is over 150 miles northeast of New Orleans.

Check them out.

I've been saying that to understand how powerful Katrina was, you don't need to look at the coast. Look 100, 150, 200 miles inland and see how much damage it did even there. I was stuck in Chicago when it hit, and ended up flying into Little Rock and driving home to Madison through northeast Louisiana. Even that far away, there were trees uprooted and farm buildings damaged. I'm amazed at the large trees blown over and uprooted here in Madison. (BTW - tell Mel how to enable non-Blogger comments!)
