even though i don,t live in the devastation areas that hurricane rita tore thru i used to work on the supply boats in grand chenier and seen the towns completely leveled those folks lost everything there,and my heart&prayers goes out to them &their families,hoping they make comeback its such a beautiful area god blessed them all.
I was there in 1957 when so many bodies were piled up in private garages w.ice. the town of Cameron was wiped off the map. A few of us had to stick it out on the base. All aircraft and most units were evacuated. I was in the 68th air refiewling outfit...
@LetsPanicy we initially went to shreveport, then went to dallas like two days later. That ride to shreveport. We left like that wednsday evening, we didnt get there until the next morning. That ride was twelve hours, took like 5 or 6 to get to deridder.

It pisses me off that Katrina is still getting all the publicity and we're still treated like we're nothing. Rita did WAY more damage than Katrina.
