Inspired by tonight's entry from weather_fan, I went back and read my Katrina entries from 08/26 through 09/30/05.

I laughed (thanks to Bill Maher) and cried (reading about the generosity of Alonzo Douglas) while reliving that sad, scary, crazy month. And once again, I was heartened by the many supportive and caring comments I received back then from my LJ friends.
