WOW, what an informative, well-written article. I was living in WI and remember the coverage, but unfortunately, all the National News coverage was just about New Orleans. Absolutely nothing about Mississippi or Alabama's destruction. It wasn't until 3 years ago when we moved here that it sunk in just how devastating Katrina was and one can see the remaining destruction still standing. I am so saddened to see that so many lost lives and lost their livelihoods because of such a devastating hurricane.
