13,000 Words About Katrina
You never really get the full picture until someone shows you a real picture. Here’s 13 pictures of the apartment PW and El lived in near the 17th Street Canal. These were taken six to eight weeks after the hurricane, if I remember correctly, which was the first they could get into the area.

Well, considering the fact that PW was left with about 3 suitcases of belongings and between them they lost thousands of dollars of collectables, it’s hard to make light of it all. That one picture of the game closet was just one of the game closets and most of the games were rare out-of-print games worth quite a bit each. El never did find her ruby jewelry.
That blue computer you see in the one computer was a month old or so when the hurricane hit and was rusted completely through when they were allowed back in.
El is still living with her mother in an overcrowded house but PW and her fiance just bought a house in England last week.
Oh, and they never did find their landlord.

I agree that it’s nothing to make light of; I can’t believe how awful it is.
