Impressive Slideshow of Katrina
The link is down. If i find a backup copy around the web i'll edit the post to include the link. If you find it, leave the link in the comments, please. Thanks.
This the most impressive slideshow of pictures taken before, during and after the Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. They were taken by Alvaro R. Morales Villa who endured the strength of the storm and lived to tell the story.
Here's his story.
It's worth taking your time to read every caption and pay attention to the detail in every picture. They tell the story in such a real way that nothing else i have seen on TV comes close to this.
Here's the intro:
PROLOGUE: On Sunday August 28 I woke up at 5 in the morning to go to my morning job at the Chateu Sonesta Hotel. The night before, we had been warned that Hurricane Katrina was preying her eyes upon us. In the history of New Orleans, there has NEVER been a direct hit by a hurricane. In everyone's mind, this hurricane would follow the same path that hundreds of past storms had done before. However, because of the size of the storm and ferocity which it tore through South Florida, the citizens of the The Big Easy prepared themselves as best they could... this is my tale of the events...
