Recovery Pictures [OT]
Erin brought back some more pictures (keep in mind, these are pictures taken
*AFTER* four months of clean-up)... Here is the latest of her own home: http://www.possibleplaces.com/Recovery3/ Here are some pictures of the marina (with boats *STILL* stranded on land): http://www.possibleplaces.com/Marina/ (on topic, the last three pictures are of a cat living there) Here are some pictures of the ninth ward (the hardest hit area in terms of wind and storm surge damage): http://www.possibleplaces.com/Ninth_Ward/ -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

Here is the latest of her own home: http://www.possibleplaces.com/Recovery3/ Looks like they're making good progress on the house. It's a shame about the pecan tree (I LOVE pecans). Try not to worry about Brooke driving -- she'll be fine. Here are some pictures of the marina (with boats *STILL* stranded on land): http://www.possibleplaces.com/Marina/ (on topic, the last three pictures are of a cat living there) Will they be able to refloat most of the boats or are they a total loss? Here are some pictures of the ninth ward (the hardest hit area in terms of wind and storm surge damage): http://www.possibleplaces.com/Ninth_Ward/ Amazing that this is *after* 4 months of cleanup. But I saw the pictures right after Katrina so I can believe it. -- Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe |

Try not to worry about Brooke driving -- she'll be fine. Yeah, I was sorry to see it go - it was there and already producing pecans when I built the house in 1972! Here are some pictures of the marina (with boats *STILL* stranded on land): http://www.possibleplaces.com/Marina/ (on topic, the last three pictures are of a cat living there) Will they be able to refloat most of the boats or are they a total loss? I don't know - some of the probably sustained a lot of damage from being knocked around in the storm surge itself. Here are some pictures of the ninth ward (the hardest hit area in terms of wind and storm surge damage): http://www.possibleplaces.com/Ninth_Ward/ Amazing that this is *after* 4 months of cleanup. But I saw the pictures right after Katrina so I can believe it. I know. They are putting notices on houses now that they will be razed shortly, but a group of owners has hired a lawyer and are taking the city to court (they've already got a temporary stay). They don't want the city to bulldoze until *they* say they are ready to have their houses bulldozed. I can see wanting to get some things out if possible - but they have had 4 months to do so already and there is a real health hazard from leaving the piles of rubble. Also, the city is already being stayed from massive bulldozing because they haven't accounted yet for all the residents and they're still finding bodies in some of the debris. They can't raze everything until they do a proper "recovery" or else get the relatives to sign off on it (the same as they did for the twin towers when it just became impossible to expect to find any more remains). It's all very sad for everyone involved. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ -- Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe |

rec.pets.cats.anecdotes ): Erin brought back some more pictures (keep in mind, these are pictures taken *AFTER* four months of clean-up)... snip I hope you don't mind, but I saw your post earlier (from work) and I shared the links with my boss. His wife is from N.O. and they went down a couple of months ago for a similar clean-up job of his MILs house. They were also sharing their home up here with a family that moved up until they could find their own way again. So basically, he and his wife were in your place during the last several months. I thought he could relate to those pictures. He sent the links to his wife. Sort of related: The Reality channel is re-running last year's American Idol series and one of the audition sites was the Superdome. I think that must have been a year before Katrina. Everyone is all cheering and going about life in NO. Just goes to show you how fast things can go wrong. -- Cheryl |

No problem at all - it's out there for the whole world to see. His wife is from N.O. and they went down a couple of months ago for a similar clean-up job of his MILs house. They were also sharing their home up here with a family that moved up until they could find their own way again. So basically, he and his wife were in your place during the last several months. I thought he could relate to those pictures. He sent the links to his wife. Yeah, a lot of people are going through that experience! Those hundreds of thousands of people who lost everything they had couldn't possibly have all gotten FEMA apartments, or trailers, or other living accomodations, especially not right away. My family are all close anyway, so didn't have to either ask or be invited to live with us - it was just a given. But God bless the families who took in total strangers in their hour of desperate need - and there were hundreds of good people out there who did!

Everyone is all cheering and going about life in NO. Just goes to show you how fast things can go wrong. I know. We're still reeling. It's amazing the everyday things we take for granted that can suddenly just be taken away - not to mention our very lives (sad to say there are still thousands of missing persons whose bodies haven't been recovered from the rubble yet). -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ -- Cheryl |

I just heard a report the other day that said there are still about 500 children that haven't been reunited with their parents/families. Inconceivable and unimaginable. So horribly sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to them all. -- Cheryl |

My thoughts and prayers go out to them all. I'd say more like unbelievable. Pretty near all the cases I heard about even a week or so after Katrina were more like non-custodial parents who didn't know where the heck their kids were before the storm. Or parents of adult "children" who didn't let their parents/families know where they were or what they were up to storm or no storm. Plus there were kids in foster care before and after the storm who's parents whereabouts were/are unknown. Everybody is somebody's child and yes there are still people unaccounted for but... Five hundred children (as in under eighteen) who were united with their parents/families before the storm and can't find them now? I don't think so. Jo |
