I never thought I'd see the place of my birth underwater.
Of course, it was always joked about that one day New Orleans would be the next Atlantis, but I never expected seeing her come so close to it in my lifetime.
My deepest thanks goes to those that remembered that I AM from Louisiana and that my entire family resides there still. They are doing all right and their homes suffered minimal damage--though whether or not my great aunt's boat (located in a marina in New Orleans) made it through is still unknown.
