HURRICANE KATRINA I YEAR ANNIVERSARY

One year ago today, Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, devastating parts of Mississippi and Louisiana outright and precipitating the levee breaks and subsequent flooding that destroyed much of New Orleans. Recovery is continuing, but has been slower than originally predicted. Remembrances and reflections can be found in much of the media today, here and abroad.
