I don't think N.O. will ever be the same as it was. Heck we still have home construction, reconstruction going on here from the flooding we picked up back then. One guy was smart and since the poor man just bought the house 6mo before it all went under to the roof, he had the whole thing lifted from ground level to setting on a cement block basement. (would you believe he was dumb enough to crawl into the attic? When the water went down enough for him/wife go get back out they ended up swimming to shore. Yes the police etc gave him 30 lashes). Just finishing the siding on it now...looking good. It probably would be worth a good home construction outfit to go down there and rebuild/sell homes. Flip this house. If it weren't for the 3 hitting one after another, I don't think there would have been as much damage left. The water just had nowhere to go. Another man just up the street from the one spoken of above just finished his first floor. What a nice job and lots of work too since everything had to be gutted to the studs and disinfected/ mold prevention etc etc..a slow process but they are getting there. I just don't know how long it will take for all the items still hanging in the trees along the creeks to fall back to nature. Things like broken campers, things washed from yards, homes.....all still hanging in trees....a spooky feeling when fishing the creek in a boat
I think goose season here in pa just ended Saturday....I seen 6 geese on the lake today....they left opening day and not seen since....tell me they don't have a calendar. Know same ones because one had a club foot that wound around like a paddle wheel when he walked....
