It’s getting there. There’s still no high school and no town hall. There are still some folks living in trailers in front of their gutted homes as they wait for govt grants. Most of the live oaks further south are dead from saltwater intrusion. 85% of homes are raised now.

Four years later, they are still waiting on FEMA, and the administration is gutting that department. Hopefully, you and your family are high and dry.

I still have students from down the bayou whose families have never recovered. Ida's aftermath is ongoing.

Wild how we’ve almost become desensitized to these massive storms. I grew up hearing about Camille from the 60s as The Storm. Then they started to come one after another.
