Hurricane Katrina Aftermath (and other stuff I find interesting)

Katrina survivors more thankful than ever. It's true, the one common refrain that you will hear if you're in town for more than a few minutes and talk to somebody who lived here before the storm is "we were lucky". Regardless of whether the storm knocked their house off the foundation, filled it with 10 feet of water, and they lost their job, they were lucky. Everybody says it.
