Every time I leave my apartment, I see evidence of Hurricane Katrina right in front of my face in the form of a rusted metal sign that used to say Sonic Drive-In. Now, it simply says the word “Closed”, and has remained that way for 15 years.
Mom experienced Camille in ‘69 and talked about it the rest of her life. Ask anyone who loses everything overnight, and they will tell you that feeling stays. Despite moving on, Katrina has never truly left me.
And at this moment, there are people in Texas and Louisiana who are wearing that unwanted badge. Let’s help them if we can.
Heaven knows they came to our aid even when others failed to.
I won’t forget. I couldn’t if I tried.
