Remembering Katrina

This morning at Christ Methodist Church a small service commemorated the tenth anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina.  I was reminded of the work church members did over a period of years, making repairs and assisting in other ways.

People from other states and nations donated money, clothes and  other items.  I especially remember how Terrall and Evelyn Lowe opened   the Methodist camp  on Caney to feed and house refugees from the hurricane.

Most of the damage, including deaths,  was done  by flooding  which could have been less, if not avoided,  if the levees had been improved as was  supposed to be.
