Hurricane Katrina Starts the Odyssey

Hurricane Katrina Starts the Odyssey
Fate Perpetuates It

Courage

Hard anniversary is nearing. Blasting Hurricane Katrina came through five years ago, end of August. 
Hard to relive. 
Hard for the people who went through what I call "the odyssey."
Imagine so many people and each one has an individual story to tell; to relive. 
Katrina was a three-warm-core-ring circus, so to speak. 
We who have survived that wind and water will gulp at the thought. 
Destruction was like an exploded bomb of maximum force. Scary to see it; scarier to live it. Still scary.  
This is not so-called reality TV. It is real life horror that makes your stomach sick. 
Anniversaries and their dates serve as markers of time. But the pain from the event is no greater because of a calendar number. It is pain so immense that it literally could not get any worse. 
Blessings to you who have gone through Hell and lived to talk about it. Your story is gigantic and so is your courage.
