I originally posted this video for the one year anniversary of pictures and some video of New Orleans I took in October 2005 after Katrina. They are mostly of hood's and apts I used to live or play in before I moved to New York a year before the storm. I did NOT write the "New Orleans" summary pictured in the beginning and end of the video but it is a photo I took at the 2006 New Orleans Jazz Fest of a vendor who had that displayed.

You could move to the Midwest and get blown away by a tornado. Or the Desert and drown in a flash flood. Or California and experience a earthquake. Or New England and get snowed-in by a blizzard!!! And the insurance cos. will eventually say, if you build ANYWHERE, you're being idiotic!!!

Martwide, you are right - if it weren't for the Corps, this town would have "dodged a bullet" (as the media said at first) and all we'd have had to worry about was a bit of wind damage. Which really wasn't bad.

Times have been changing since the begining sometimes we have to change with it. But somethings never change.

SO SAD LOOKS LIKE A WAR ZONE....

It goes to show what a crappy job the media does after a storm, everyone just forgets about it and the recovery and years later, how sad for those still stuck there struggling.

Thank u for this video. You took the same drives that I did when I came home first in September 05. Great music, too. To ramblinman: most of us weren't in a "flood zone" - it was the Corps of Engineers who got us. And you're not safe anywhere - hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and bridge collapses - we're all in this together, folks. What happened here (being abandoned by our so-called leaders) could happen anywhere. And what we do about it now will predict everyone's future.

Thank you for this Nick.. I am from the "west bank"... (fellow natives will know where I'm from) Across the river from New Orleans Louisiana.. This was hard to watch... I cried again... For all the family I have lost... For all those who are my kin... For all those who have been affected by Katrina & the LACK of federal aid.... I have not forgiven... AND I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!!!
