With one Hurricane Season out of the way (06-07 season) and one underway right now, things like this are more relevant to me. This is mainly because i live on an island where there is no fleeing north. This NYTimes article is about whats going on in the aftermath of Katrina. Specifically with people living in FEMA trailer parks and not being able to find work. Gene Torti and his friends are building houses in the Gulf area for Katrina victims. There are no doubt others out there doing the same thing. Churches are still involved financially and service trips to clean or build. So there are people still working on this. I can't believe New Orleans is bringing people in from South America to do work instead of bringing their own people back.
(I foresee my blog taking more of this approach for a while as opposed to what i used to do)
