New Orleans was hit by Hurrican Katrina. Most of the brunt passed to the east and hit Biloxi (where I once went to Tech School) and Gulfport more directly. But, the storm surges of the Category 4 storm were taller and stronger than the levees surrounding the city, which are 100 years old and rated for a Category 3 storm, at most.
This makes me unbeliveably sad. I love me some NOLA and am disappointed that I didn't get to go earlier this year, as had been planned. I sincerely hope that it has not been devestated beyond repair because I have not been there nearly enough.
