Katrina and New Orleans
Well as if to prove Murphy’s Law is still in effect, New Orleans, the consulate I applied through coming on JET, has taken on the once unimaginable wallop of a near Category 5 Hurricane, Katrina. You can see for yourself in this pretty informative news clip, from one of the local New Orleans stations,the extent of the devastation.

There’s some landmarks mentioned that are now submerged, if not completely washed away, that I remember walking to a little over one year ago as I waited for the day we’d depart for Japan. Nothing less than Shocking. The Mayor mentions toward the end of the clip that Bush and Thugs, Inc. have asked of a wishlist from him…I hope he asks that all his National Guard members and equipment be brought back from Iraq (where they never should’ve been) so they can help. They will arrive in time as this will take a long time to fix.
