Yeah I know, I only took pictures of my house and areas surrounding my house,and the Dome of course, call me selfish...
So we made our way back into the city, I should say snuck back into the city since New Orleans east won't open up until Wednesday. These pictures were taken yesterday, and I'll say the media exaggerates soooo much. Not about the damage, because as you can see it's damn near beyond repair...rumor is that they will claim New Orleans and St.Bernard Parish condemned and just pay everyone off. Everything is dead, the smell isn't that bad but that may take awhile to get out. We ran into some people from the SPCA and we told them about a few people who left their dogs. We able to save our friend's dog, he's so adorable, I'm amazed he's still alive after living without food and water for 30 days...we weren't so lucky for a neighbor of ours...but atleast we got to save one dog. We're not moving back. There really isn't anything to go back to, after driving through the east, it'll take years to re-build, and who wants to wait years to move back into a house? Since my last post we've moved into a very nice apartment, fully furnished (pics are coming soon). It's quite nice, and everything is within reach. Houston is huge though, and slightly over crowded (how slightly?) They didn't make the interestate with 4-5 lanes for no reason...

Front of my house, surprisingly no windows were broken...but we had to break into the house because the wooden door was swollen shut...

Wow...I held my breath as I viewed those pictures. I'm supposed to go back next week (sometime after Wednesday) to take pictures myself. I'm scared of what I might see.
Everyone I have spoken with that has went back home has came back depressed. I lived on West Laverne right near the Bunny Bread factory. I never thought I would relocate for a reason like this.
