Yes, I ventured into St. Bernard a few weeks after the storm and was amazed at the destruction as it was as bad or worse than the Lower 9th.
However, I was there a few months ago and it was looking much better.
We’re familiar with the Port at Chalmette and its employees, one of whom died as a result of Katrina. A number of employees have not been back to their homes since they were flooded. It’s my understanding that a lot of progress has been made in the area, however. While everyone was focusing on NO, St. Bernard Parish was almost totally ignored and its destruction equal to, if not worse, than NO.
