Hurricane Katrina August 28 2005 NASA
Disclaimer: This picture is not taken by me.I put it here to commemorate the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane Katrina on August 28, 2005, near its peak intensity.
This image was created by NASA and taken from a NASA website or publication. Hurricane Katrina turned slightly eastward before slamming into shore redirecting the storm's most potent winds and rain away from the vulnerable, low lying New Orleans area. Katrina weakened slightly overnight to a Category 4 storm and her eastward movement put the western eyewall - the weaker side of the strongest winds - over New Orleans. This doesn't mean New Orleans has been spared her wrath completely, the city is still getting hit with 145 mph winds today and the possibility of a 20 foot storm surge.Katrina, which cut across Florida last week leaving nine dead and massive damage, had intensified into a Category 5 storm over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, reaching top winds of 175 mph before weakening as it neared the coast.A hurricane warning is in effect for the north-central Gulf Coast from Morgan City, La., to the Alabama-Florida line. Tornado warnings were posted for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Credit: NASA/Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Land Rapid Response Team

Hurricane Katrina [The Face of a Hero]
This is Wilbert Smith. He is from New Orleans.
He has two sons.
He doesn't know where they are.
He sent them to "safety" with others while he stayed behind in chest-deep waters, contaminated by pollution and death, to search for those who might need help. He helped. Wilbert Smith helped.Wilbert Smith is alone in Houston at the moment. He is still searching.
Please send a heart-full of positive energy and prayer his way. He is a hero.

Hurricane Katrina [Emergency Exit]
I didn't notice the "emergency exit" when I took the photo, but found the words to be very apropos once I noticed them.Taken outside of Houston Astrodome of the first bus to arrive from New Orleans, a bus that transported mostly children.
It's a terribly blurry photo, but, for some reason, it is one of my favorites from last night.

Hurricane Katrina [Overwhelmed]
Emma Green talks to a new friend in the parking lot of Toys-R-Us, a makeshift collection and distribution center for relief supplies. Emma asked me to thank Irene (last name unknown) if I published a photo of her. She was overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone she had met. She is in Houston with her daughter, two grand-daughters (seen in earlier photos), and two grandsons. They were about to head to Humble, Texas to try to find shelter. I loved this family. I gave them my number... just in case.My second promise was to mention her sisters names, sisters, also from New Orleans, whom she has no idea how to contact, nor does she know where they are.Sisters:Helen WhiteDiane LeslieJessie HallRuby BullockWilliemae MinnorAgain, if anyone has any information regarding these individuals, please contact me. I know it is a longshot, but stranger things have happened.

Hope
It is not easy to react in a creative way to what happened in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I feel sad and somber and I feel angry, because the manpower we badly need now to help is tide up in a pointless war in Iraq.I don't want to be negative, but it feels like a bad karma is catching up with the present administration.
