The disaster that hit the southern region of the U.S. - hit close to home. My wife's sister and her husband were in New Orleans for their 2nd honeymoon when disaster struck. Their harrowing account of what happened over the course of the 5 days they spent inside the New Orleans Super Dome is pretty gruesome. There's too much to tell (read their interview in the San Jose Mercury) and all I can say is that whatever the media is showing it was really 100 times worse than how they made it out to be. Thankfully they are back home safe. Our hearts go out to all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Our goverment failed those people miserably. This was nothing but a federal act of genocide. I'll leave it at that.
