Blogging New Orleans Remembers Katrina

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on Aug 29th 2007 at 1:23PM

Today -- on the second anniversary of hurricane Katrina -- our sister site Blogging New Orleans is hosting a day-long blogothon with posts every hour detailing the ongoing rebuilding process. New Orleans has always been like a second home to me. I've been visiting the Big Easy at least once a year every year since 2000, and the devastating floods that ripped apart the city two years ago remain a vivid and horrifying memory even today. I can only imagine what it must have been like for those who actually lived through the disaster. Here are some interesting posts from Blogging New Orleans two-year anniversary coverage:

Mike asks, How far behind are we, really? "At Katrina+5 will the rebuild/tear down be complete? When those levee systems are 'finished' and I feel safe enough to think about buying house in this city, will that be the end of the recovery?"
Watch the pilot for K-Ville online, right here, right now -- Check out the pilot episode for Fox's new cop drama set in New Orleans.
NOLAvid: Going Back to New Orleans by Deacon John via AOL True Stories -- Tonight on MyNetwork TV (formally UPN54 in New Orleans) you can watch the HD Documentary 'Going Back to New Orleans' at 8:00 PM EST. This movie tells the stories of various New Orleans musicians and their return to the city they love after Katrina from the point of view of Deacon John.

Head over to Blogging New Orleans to read the rest of their coverage on Katrina's second anniversary.
