I was/am from Lakeview area

I hope you are back to normal now. We had flood waters in my area but I am blessed that my small part of our street is higher than the rest so I didn’t get water in my house. My heart goes out to all who have had to suffer through this nightmare. I especially feel for the elderly who lost everything. Did you lose everything?

As normal as things can be in N.O. Haha. yes, everything. But we rebuilt. 1 year and 3 days and we were home. We have a strong little block here. Most of my neighbors have returned. thanks so much for caring enough to ask. Oour church struggles along. alot of our members were elderly and have had to move on. As you know this took a tremendous toll on them. My father passed 1 month after seeing his home of 65yrs. completely destroyed. he just seemed to give up.
