I still can't watch these videos without crying. I don't think that people who aren't from there can fully understand what it means to have the place where you are from, where your family and friends live, the place where your ancestors are buried; to have the place where your roots are, completely wiped away. I'm so happy that y'all made it out okay. My great uncle, Joseph Sietzen, wasn't so fortunate. Hugs to you all.

So glad you and your family made it out alive. God bless you!

So, are earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, droughts, snow and ice also his way of telling us where not to live? That pretty much covers the entire planet, so would you ask him where on this ball of mud that we ARE supposed to live?..

I was there! It was horriable we spend 5 days there and only the parish helped their own people get out with boats and people where brought to schools, banks, prisions, anywhere from high water. When Katrina was posted on the news they only spoke of New Orleans damages. They forgot about St. Bernard Parish was damaged 100% under water. the Parish provided food the best they could for our people, then later we had to walk threw water to get to St. Benard Hwy to catch a truck to the ferry.

I hope they leave in time

I live in the New Orleans area and my brother and his wife lived in Chalmette and lost everything and I mean EVERYTHING. How long did it take for Guerras to be rescued? I hope they didn't have to spend the night on that roof.

God told you that?
