10 Years ago Katrina

Yes it was a tragedy. Why didn't people leave? There are many reasons from financial, health, fear of leaving there home, etc. I have lived on the Gulf Coast my entire life and its never easy whether you evacuate or not. I live in Alabama and work in Mississippi and some of my coworkers in Mississippi came home to a slab and nothing more. Some homes were flooded that didn't flood in years past.Its an event that none of us that live on the Gulf Coast will forget nor will the lives that were touched.
