I live in Slidell, and I was fotunate enough to not have any water or damage to my house…

Storm-damaged house with debris-filled yard, fallen tree limbs, trash bags piled in a pickup truck bed, and a white wicker chair sitting in the muddy driveway.

I live in Slidell, and I was fotunate enough to not have any water or damage to my house or belongings after Katrina. This picture was taken about three days after in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi (Felicity Street). It is my fiancé's house, it got about 20 feet of water in it all the way up to the second floor. His family pretty much lost everything like so many others.
