Five years ago today, on August 29th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I had evac’d the Friday night before, grabbing a few easy to grab valuables and a week’s worth of clothing. I had figured that would be about how long I would be gone, mainly because I was trying to get out a [...]
Camp Trans
