5. Dang, I recognize those neighborhoods -- I think.
It's hard to tell. Where were those pictures taken? (I could only look at the thumbnails, incidentally: the full pics are too big.)

7. Bush's Tet Offensive has arrived.
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 09:03 PM by rocknation
Bush was so determined to keep the Iraq invasion of out America's living rooms, he didn't notice Katrina sneaking in.

9. Those pictures make my heart ache
And knowing that NOLA still looks like this 6 months after Katrina enrages me.

I appreciate you posting these, kliljedahl.

31. Haven't cleared a lot of the roads
Didn't go down many because I didn't want tires full of nails.

15. THANK YOU kliljedahl!!!
You're a 1%er my friend! :hug:

DU NEEDS YOU!!! :grouphug:

WE MISS YOUR TOON THREADS!!! :yourock:

... and there are neighborhoods that are worse than those pictures demonstrate. :( It is still risky to drive through some areas, and some streets are impassible. Sad thing is, for better or worse, it is being swept away like debris in a dust pan.

Does America have any idea what was lost? :cry:

16. Some of those were those "risky" areas
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 10:40 PM by kliljedahl
but I felt safe. I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.

On edit: No more TOON posts since my last one got deleted. I'm posting TOONs elsewhere.

17. NOTHING has been done!
That is so sad. If that was Kennebunkport....it would be rebuilt by now. NOLA isn't even cleared out yet. :grr:

18. It's sickening that the people haven't been helped
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 11:41 PM by notsodumbhillbilly
after all this time. On top of that, today I heard that searchers were taking dogs into the ninth ward to hunt for remains of the dead - more than six months after the hurricane hit! It's an outrage that this wasn't done long before now.

Thank you for posting this, kliljedahl.

28. Did you see the report, I think it was WWL
about the death rate rising astronomically in NOLA. Both suicides & people just "giving up". I think it was Saturday. Incredibly depressing.

32. I've heard it elsewhere
You can see it on the faces of the locals, the extreme pressure and heartache. At least we were able to let of some steam for Mardi Gras... to HELL with the assholes who said we shouldn't celebrate!

30. Very sad.
Great job with the camera. More people need to see these pictures. More pictures need to be seen nationwide. The damage is just staggering. It looks like the wind tore up a lot of property before it was flooded. That wind had to be a cat 3 or more, when it hit the city.

The media just stopped covering the damage a month after the storm. I suspect Karl had a hand in that.
