"In the timeline of history, half a decade constitutes not even the blink of an eye, but for many residents of the Gulf Coast affected by Hurricane Katrina, the past five years have seemed like a lifetime. Yet time has moved on. Five years after the storm, recovery efforts have produced a mixed bag of results across our region."

Thanks for posting this. I lived on Royal Street for a time. My wife(she's Creole) and I relocated from New Orleans to Omaha, where there is now an exhibition at one of the museums here that inlcudes some Katrina testimonials. I thought I was pretty much over it but when I saw this exhibit and heard the people's voices I almost started crying.
The last place we lived was in Lakeview. When we visited last year I saw the library was still closed (as well as the supermarkets).
I lined to your blog from Amy Welborn. I've been attracted to St. Michael the last few years too.
Thank you for your comment! Katrina must have been a terrible event for the people living in that area. I think it is good that we remember, in the hope of
trying to prevent such devastation
in the future. May St. Michael defend us.
