As of January 2006, here are observations of the alternate universe created by those 175 mph sustained winds:
There are things that no longer make us look or think twice:
- Waiting for a FEMA trailer, an elderly couple has been living in their 2 door sedan for 3+ months
- Clogged roads and long waits for debris removal - no street is spared
- Flooded busses being sold on ebay
- Michael Brown is coming back as a consultant???
- Cars under houses
- A Rolls in front of a FEMA trailer???
- The birth of FEMA trailer parks everywhere
- New kinds of lawn ornamentsbr>
- Trash that sometimes makes you look twice
- Pictures like this that give you instant depression
- Burger King is offering a $6,500 sign on bonus
- It's hard to remember where some buildings were pre Katrina
- The mayor of NOLA asking hotels to give hurricane refugees a portion of their profits and free hotel rooms
- Two beautiful dogs "gone wild" living in Bayou Sauvage
- Limited menu's at all open restaurants
- Businesses remaining closed, almost 4 months after the storm, due to lack of workers
- 30 minute wait in the Walmart "fast checkout" lane
More to come!
