I lived a few miles from the industrial canal. My home got 4 feet of water. Me and myt family evacuated to Natchez Mississippi and stayed there for a few months. We later came home in october and stayed with relatives on the westbank while our home was being rebuilt. There were numerous churches and aid groups that gave us free goods and cleaning products that helped make the cleanup of our home easier. We finally got back into our home before christmas and to this day still have a few rooms that are unfinished. We lost all of our childhood possessions and pictures. Its hard because i know i will never be able to replace those things.
