Mandatory evacuations were called. Many did not evacuate New Orleans though. People ignored the warnings. Levies broke. Day after day water filled the streets. People appeared out of the water. They walked to the Superdome. Some people died from no water of food. Women and children were raped in the Superdome. People sat on houses and held up signs that said, "Help us."
I was drawn to my knees that day, as I watched the people appear in the flooded streets. Convoy's of trucks, buses, and boats arrived on the 4th day, after the Hurricane hit.
A Policeman turned his gun on himself because, he felt helpless. There was rioting in the streets. Houses were demolished. Casinos' were picked up and moved across the streets.
Millions of dollars were lost daily from sinful Casinos'. Christian people helped with Bibles, prayer, food, water, and other supplies. The ACLU protested, when the Christians helped. It is hard to believe that less than 2000 people were killed. Many refugees were transported to other areas all over the U.S.A. to live.

Katrina was so big, she peeked over my shoulder here in North Central Texas - used to live 60 miles north of N'Awlines - what she did to the entire Gulf Coast breaks my heart - have written numerous poems on how she was. This is powerfully penned, almost journalistic - like being an eyewitness to the horrors seen - very well done.
What bothers me the most about Katrina is that they waited only a few days prior to evacuate all those people, and the poor/elderly/disabled didn't have a chance. That's why so many people died! TRAGIC; it did NOT have to happen!! Typical Louisiana beaurocratic policies! Shame!! Throw 'em ALL out of office and start all over!!

This book consists of a 150 pages of Christian poetry about the end of time and the Second coming of Jesus Christ not as a servant but as a King, the King of kings. To bring righteousness and peace to the earth and restore the government of God! Peac
