Yesterday, we drove around in southwest Louisiana where Hurricane Rita ripped through about a year ago. Even after a year, there was much devastation. Whole towns were wiped out! We went to Holly Beach and Cameron. Neighborhoods were simply gone. There were houses sitting in the middle of the swamp! Metal was twisted, gas stations stripped apart, and cars thrown into the marsh.
This storm got overlooked after Katrina. However, it was horrible and the effects still linger in southwest Louisiana. The water got to a level of 37 feet in Holly Beach. The eye of the storm split in two. This caused stronger winds for a longer period of time. All of coastal Louisiana is in a sad state right now even after a year.

It's bad to hear. I know it must be really tough. when i don't have toothpaste or some shampo, I go crazy.
Now imagine, without a home, cloth, or even water.
praying for them.
Honestly, I ask God to forgive me, iF I WAS A celebrity, and had all that money. I would help BIG TIME!!!
you see shows like MTV Cribs" Where basketball players, singers, actors etc, etc have all these expense cars. One car you can buy 3 or 4 houses.
They're "bling bling," one chain, you can buy 10 cars.
That's just me. But there are those that are doing something.
What do you think??
Sorry for writing to much. This is not my blog. It's Auny.
