katrina, one year later

Aimée-zing, isn’t it? ~ A blog by Mae, an online friend who lives in NOLA and was there when Katrina hit last summer. Since then, she’s used this blog to document her experiences within the year since the hurricane.

Photographs of post-Katrina NOLA ~ These were taken by Kim, during a visit to the city last year post-Katrina. She now lives in Chicago but was born and raised in New Orleans. (There are two more sets of NOLA photos taken in May of this year on her Flickr page. Even in those, you can still see there was still a lot of damage yet to be repaired.)

Former FEMA chief Michael Brown (aka “Brownie”) was interviewed on Sunday’s This Week with George Stephanopolous about Katrina’s aftermath, and noting what went wrong (including taking responsibility for his own screw-ups).

crooksandliars.com coverage of Katrina. To mark the anniversary, the webmaster there will be reposting videos from last year’s news coverage of it.

A BBC journalist returns to NOLA to see what has and hasn’t changed in the year since the hurricane. There are a plethora of other pieces on their website, too.

In short, the city still has a long way to go before it can be completely whole again. :(
