The blue poles represent the rising water levels until they came to their highest point on the left. The 9th ward, the poorest area of New Orleans, was the worst hit. Homes were completely washed away.We are now at JFK and eating lunch. Our plane will begin to board at about 4:00.
We are due in to Portland at 6:40 pm and are praying that thunderstorms will not delay us at all.
Leaving New Orleans was bittersweet. Most of us had a sad feeling as we left feeling like there is so much more to do. Then, when we got to the airport we saw a USA Today headline saying that rebuilding jobs are drying up in NOLA. That may be true but it is only because the people have absolutely no money to be able to hire anyone to do the work they need. There is still PLENTY OF WORK to be done but homeowners need help.
