Everything in my town has changed. We've been terribly hurt.
Don't even start to think you can tell me about suffering.
Where are you? Baton Rouge?
I live in Southwest Lousiana near the coast, so this very well could have been us. The schools here have to go to alternating the local kids one day and the evacuees the next day. I have friends that live in New Orleans area. We are going to get one tomorrow from Metarie because he is stranded and has nothing left. Everything he owned was destroyed. He's a lucky one, he survived the floods. When you have a Marine scared you know it was bad.
