I went with my husband to Lake Charles this week to do a mobile home inspection. Thought we would take the scenic route going back up the LA/TX coast and visit his son in Lake Jackson for his birthday. Man! I can't believe the damage from Katrina and/or Rita still in the area. We saw houses in the canals, many, many houses that had yet to be rebuilt. We saw huge trees that had been snapped like matchsticks. I can't imagine what it was like right after the storms if it still looks like this 18+ months later. We both came away from the drive with an incredible amount of respect for the people of that area, who haven't been getting all the TV coverage or sympathy from people. My heart just goes out to everyone who chooes to stay.
To anyone who lives around Cameron Parish, or anyone out in the country that suffered from the storms, I want to extend my admiration for staying on the land. You are what makes America great.
