She came

Pray she does not

Come back again

She smashed, beat, crushed, shocked

Drowned her victims and sent an arrow

Straight through all of our hearts

She could not have been more ruthless

Thank God

She carried on

Personally I will never forget that day it is also burned in my memory. I took these pictures 2005 after Hurricane Katrina in NOLA once the all clear signal was given by the military. Horrifying and devastating to see, fighting back the tears my stomach flipped. As my heart skipped beats possessing a feeling of rupture it looked like a war zone. Thoughts grew heavy as I wondered what on earth are the people to do, God what are they going to do?

I cannot begin to say I understand for I felt like I was standing on the sidelines watching at some giant sports events at a tragic accident.

Its a painful anniversary in remembering whata horrible ordeal everyone went through. You paint the storms of Katrina without even mentioning her name.

Two years later, it doesn't look much different...sad. SHE, the witch who stole Christmas, stole much more: the people's spirits, I'm afraid. Those that died, they were the lucky ones: they don't have the memories...powerfully illustrated and painfully penned, SHE was no lady...well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. *tears*
