What a show! Thanks for posting this; it was well worth the time to go through all the pics, and lends a new perspective to the Katrina story.

Boy does this put a different "picture" to the events! The impression the left wing media gave was a fast major flood and everybody was surprised and trapped. I think a lot of the blacks that didn't leave were afraid of being robbed by their "neighbors". Louisian Democrats are a bunch of whiners. You didn't hear Missippi and Alabama whining, and they got flattened.

[Archidamus]

Nice.

[TheMom]

Yeah, I urks me also that MSM is focusing mainly on NOLA. Florida, Mississippi and Alabama had way more damage, yet you see very little of it.

[TheMom]

Exactly. Yet all we here from the blowhards is how slow the government was slow to respond. These photo's tell a different story.

[cajun-jack]

also, go to www.supertalkms.com it is the homepage of a talk radio station in Jackson, MS with affiliates all over the state. They have some real good photos on their homepage. Not a lot of them, but some real good ones.

Amazing pics. Well done.

I could not tell who the MSNBC person was, could you?

[Alia]

Thank you, Zacs Mom. Well done photo-essay about an area of NO.

[NerdDad]

Thank you.

I debated putting it in Breaking News to maximize the exposure but couldn't justify it to myself that it was truly "Breaking" News. I also convinced myself that if others thought such was warranted they would do exactly as you have done.

This link is not working?

[gg188]

is the link not working anymore? Those were incredible pix. Did the person who posted the pix pull them?

[gg188]

Any idea if the slideshow was pulled? I cannot access it now.

[angcat]

That was great stuff, too bad it was pulled.

"I think he said Venezualan," "Nicaraguan."

There's a difference?

[IronJack]

You'd have to take that up with the Venezuelans, the Nicaraguans, or both.

The photos are gone....
I was able to see them last weekend though and they were truly amazing! If you find them again, will you ping me?
Thanks!

I came across this thread that I had saved. That picture essay was great. I wanted to see them again but I didn’t save them. Anybody know how to retrieve the pictures?

[NerdDad]

Unfortunately, the pics were gone 2 days after being posted. They were some of the very best I saw and it broke my heart that they went away before I could snag them.

[beckysueb]

Maybe the person who posted them will read this thread and post them again. It was the best documentation of Katrina I ever saw.
