They Saw a Ghost

Hurricane Katrina in 2005 took a big bite out of the Gulf Coast. Property, people and wildlife were all at her mercy. The Atlantic Ocean became a villain to the shore. The ocean’s roar brought silence to wildlife; People abandoned their homes, and Biloxi casinos shut down. Boats had to take the brunt of its fury. Mother Nature was speaking in angry tongues.

The human questions were, “How do we rebuild our lives?” Help, help, help…FEMA help! Neighbors pitched in with aid, and first responders went beyond the call of duty, stretching resources to the end. Heroes emerged from all over the globe as our humanity was being tested. The trees along this row in Biloxi, Mississippi, kept a record of that tragic event, leaves ducking and hiding, unsure of what to do; ‘it was a hot mess!’
