Hurricane Katrina: Two Years Later

As our state and our Louisiana neighbors face the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with many thousands of people still living in FEMA trailers, and the possibility of another hurricane looming, the Jackson Free Press pauses to send a prayer to all the victims of a devastating hurricane. Click here to view the JFP's KatrinaBlog, started the day after the hurricane hit the Coast, and archiving Katrina-related stories and posts by JFP writers and readers.

I pray that we never have to live through another storm like Katrina again.

I hope we don’t either.

Anyone remember the donations thread?  For me, that’s my most vivid memory.  Everyone needed something, even if it was just ice and gas.

Right, L.W., I kinda wish we’d kept up the “triage blog” as we called it. That was amazing; we posted needs and people around the country responded. That’s what I spent most of my time doing the first week after Katrina.

Of special note is this story from October 2004.

Interesting oics, Lambda.

blu, I think that link deserves its own thread.  That’s some juicy stuff!

J.T.: Wintrhop, your last sentence "I don't want a small and manageable God. I prefer one that I can't fully understand." bears out that we each have perceptions of God. And, when the ...

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...
