I would feel very sad that everything including pictures and belongings would be ruined by the water and the winds of the hurricaine. I would move back there after the 5 years, but when it was hurricaine season and a threat of a hurricaine was coming, I'd pack my bags and move up north till it was over.
I would be very sad and upset because you lose all your pictures and personal belongings about your memory of your childhood.After 5 years I would move back because that is my home and where my friends are but if there was a threat of a hurricane coming I would leave and go up north until its over.
Owen I thought the excat same thing too I mean even if your pictures or belongings would be gone its still home.
I agree with you both. After losing it all I can't say id stay I mean it could happen again at any time. It would put my family in danger.
i had to fix my name sorry
i would miss all my belongings you just can stop nature
I would be crushed if I knew all that I had was destroyed or ruined. I probably couldn't bear to look at my house to remember all my memories in the house but I would have to start all over. I probably will not move back because barely anyone would come back so my neighborhood would become a ghost town.
I`m interested in learning about the solar system because I`ve alaways wanted to learn how the solar system works.
Owen I agree with you it would be terrible to think that everything you own was destroyed and barely anything was able to be salvaged. I would go to one of my relatives and live with them until its been cleared and rebuilt if my neighborhood isn't a Ghost town.
I would be very upset if this happened to me because I would have lost many things like pictures and memories I made. If I lived there I don't know if I could go back because i'd still be worried about another hurricane and i dont think i'd want to go through that again.
this is a terrible tragety but what happens happens and we cant fix it any way i think that new orleans will begin to start building up in popularity again
I would also be very sad about losing valuable pictures and videos. But I would probalby move back after 5 years but like owen I would leave when hurricane season came and when it was over come back.
I agree with you Sean. I never thought about what others would do either...What if no one moved basck and you just did and you'd be the only one living there.
yes i would be very sad if this would happen to me i could not belive how much stuff would be gone
it's very depressing about what happened to all of these people becuase they lost everything. they lost pictures and books and clothes and not to mention all of their memeorires. i can't even imagine how i would feel if i lost everything. I don't think i'd be able to recover too well. But i's great that people from all over the country to travel to New Orleans and help all of the people. Most people moved out of katrina and my family would too. We would take everything we could and start over if we had to. That would so hard and i don't think i coulod do it. I hyope i never have to!
I would feel really sad because a hurricane destroyed my home with powerful winds and waters. I wouldn't move back because there is a whole season of hurricanes and just the threat of another hurricane coming through it wouldn't be worth it.
I would feel very upset, depressed and scared if I had to leave my house because of a hurricane. I would have a hard time getting over all the stuff I would have lost (pictures, journals, meanigful gifts) and if I lost a family member it would be a hard time to get through. If my home was restored, I would consider going back because there would probably be good memories there and bad memories too but it would depend if I liked the place I moved for a temporary home. I wouldn't be afraid of another hurricane though.
I would be sad that all my things were destroyed. I am glad I live in cincinnati because we do not get hurricanes
Commenting on Hailey Hoover. I agree with you but I don't think that they would lose their memories because usually you remember your memories. Like you, I wouldn't recover from it too well either.
Commenting on Rachel's Sept. 1st
That is very true i would miss my personal belongings and pictures. But, like always you'll always remember that day and never forget that one special house!!!!
I would be very sad if I was forced to move out of my house, because all my belonging would probally be ruined and all of my picture would be ruined. I would probally would move back because that would be were my life time memories were.
I would be so sad....... and mad! I would be mad that all most all of our stuff would be gone and unable to be saved. I would be sad, because then we would have to move away and not come back for a while. And if I had the chance to come back, even if there was a hurricaine threat, I wouldn't come back. Because by then I would have gotten used to living some where else.
I don't know if I would come back... it would be hard for me to look at the town i onced lived in, the people i onced lived by and know that it could happen all again. It would be a hard decision to make. My sister recently went on a mission trip with my church youth group, they visited the lower 9th ward.. She said it was a sight, seeing all the houses being torn down and nothing left but stairs to the porch then the porch but nothin else. They saw a house, with a front door that had a saying on it... the saying hit them all hard. It brought me meaning even if I wasnt on the trip. The saying was "You Are Not Forgotten" That saying means a lot to the people that went on that mission trip, It even hit the people who weren't on the trip. Everyone got a huge influence out of the trip, especially the teens. They went expecting to build some houses, bring some people back home. But instead they help rebuild a church that people could stay at if there home wasn't in good condition. the teens brought back more then an experience they brought back a memorie. A Memorie That Will Never Be Forgotten.
i would be so sad if i was in a hurricane because all the stuff i would have left behind would be destroyed and some non replaceable and that is just heart breaking i wouldn't be able to go back in five years cause all the bad memories would hurt to much and that might happen again so that would be to much for me.
Comenting on Hailey's post
I agree with you but I dont think I would want to move back and see my happy city in ruins. I would be to scared and sad.
Loosing everything would be very sad all of the precius items at home including pictures would be ruined. After 5 years I would probably not move back because your nehibors and family member might not be there and it wouldnt be the same. If you already have good family members and nehibors where you moved to get away from the storm. I wouldnt want to have a chance to go through that again.
posting on charlies comment I am also gald that we live in cincinnati, but wonder if we lived in new orleans would you be scared of hurricanes and would you move back?
I feel very bad for all the famalies effected by the storm and I can't belive what it's been like for them. I would hate to have a home one minute and the next minute wathcing all your belongings be washed away. But most people lost more than furniture, most people lost thier family. Coming back five years later and seeing the damage would be horribale.
i would feel horrible!!! i dont know what i would do?! i can not believe that people have been living like this for the past 5 years!and i can not believe that the hurricane did this much dammage!!!
my dog is a rescue dog from hurricane katrina. if you would like to know the full story, please come talk to me!

I would feel sad because a huge strom destroyed all my stuff and then I would have to take cover in a football stadium. I would move back because I wouldn't think it would happen again in my lifetime.
People are leaving homes because katrina is coming. But people are also are leaving other states along the coast because of hurricane earl. Hurricane is coming now.Heres a video below.

I would be very upset because i would loose all my personal belongings and in my room i have my granpa's army stuff. If i had the choice to move back into my house i would for sure,but if it happened again i would have second thoughts.
I would feel horible because I would leave all of my friends. Also like Owen said loose pictures and many other stuff. I would not come back to my home because everthing would be ruined and the couches and other furniture would be moldey. I would gather up all valubles when i herd the hurricane was coming.

If I was forced to leave my home because of a hurricane, I would be very sad because you don't know if you will ever come back and see your house again or anything. If my house was restored and i was able to move back I would move back and try to make things like they used to be and if there was another hurricane I would just do the same thing again.
I would hate it. I feel very bad for them. I have never been through any thing like that. I have been through a flood though. But i was not affraid after that they probably are and will never go back again i would do the same.
I would feel very upset if I were forced to leave my home but I would be thankful if I survived. At least those who were forced to evacuate survived through the hurricane. I wouldn't move back because I would be too afraid it would happen again.
commenting on amanda freel
i agree totally!! it is not worth risking it again at all! if i were in that possition, i would say that alleast i still have something left...my life and i would not want to take the chances of loosing the only thing i have left!!
i wonder if that city will ever be the same again?
i also wonder if the city will ever have the same amount of people! mabye more!?
amber coors
i would be vey sad if i lost my pictures and even my family it must be tuff out there and i hope they get there city back togather
I would feel very sad and scared. I can never imagine having to leave my home so suddenly, I would be destroyed and very sad. I would move back. Since i have lived in my home as long as I have been alive it would mean a lot to me to be able to go back home. I would probably have the walls and everything built stronger if there was another hurricane.
Rachel, I feel the same way. Loosing everything you have ever had would be one of the hardest things for me. Also if there was going to be another hurricane i would probably move up north too.
I would hate to have a hurrcain ruin everything important to me. Albums were probably all ruined.If that happened to me i dont think i would want to go back, what if it happened again? And i think that by 5 years I wuld be used to where I was living anyways.
i would feel very sad if i was forced to leave my home beacuse i would have to leave knowing that all my things and photos and memories are ruined and gone forever.and if my home was restored, i wouldent go back to New Orleans because even though they built a hurricane barrier, you can never underestimate mother nature.
I would be really upset because there could be a lot of memories in the house you had, but it would all be gone. I would not move back because I would be to scared when it came to hurricane season. I would not want something to happen again.
If I was forced to leave my home because there was going to be a hurricane, I would feel scared, nervous, hopeless, helpless, mainly anxious.
I would move back because even though a hurricane came through. Home is home and that's where I am going to be as long as I can.

Commenting to Rachel's post. I would also be so upset to loose all your memories but they are not gone forever they will stick in your heat for as long as you live.
if i was forced to leave my home, i would feel scared and stressed because i would have to leave quickly so me or anyone else in my family woulden't get hurt.
if my home was restored, i would be grateful, but i would not go back there because its 5 years later. my family and i might have moved on, and gotten a better life for ourselves.
I would feel sad having to leave all my memories behind to be ruined. If I were able to move back after 5 years I would proably miss home and want to go back but I would still be nervous that another hurricane would come back through the area.
Even if my house was restored i still wouldn't move back because i would be afraid if another hurricane would come and wouldn't ruin everything again.I'd rather be in a place that doesn't suffer from hurricanes as bad as katrina.
I would feel very sad if i had to leave my home because all of my things would have been destroyed by the hurricane. If lived in New Orleans I would immediately move because it is below sea level and is prone to be hit by another hurricane.
I would feel aweful! I would always be thinking about my life back then and I dont know if i'd ever be the same person I used to be. And I wouldnt want to move back because by then I probably would have adapted to a new home and I would always have the fear of having to go through what i had to go through when Katrina hit again.
Sean, i felt the same way about seeing your home again. I wouldnt be able to do it. Every time I look at the house I was probably fall apart inside. It would be too emotional seeing your old home and remembering the disaster.
I would feel terrible if all on my beongings would be gone forever in that hurrican. I don't think I could stand losing all of my childhood memories. After 5 years I would do the same as you, Owen. I would be very very cautious of the weather.

urg.....i would be sad to leave my home.
i was watching a show about katrina on animal planet and the people who owned pets couldnt take them on the bus to keep them safe.
so they had to leave their pets to swim in the livin room or be stranded on top of he roof unil aspca came to get them
i couldnt stand it.
period.
leaving your home havin nothing in your hand. all of your family photos would be ruined.
no memories or records of anything.
and no clean clothes to
I would feel awlful and woulden't want to see what its turend into.
I think that Hurricane Katrina was a tragedy in New Orleans.It's been 5 years since Hurricane Katrina.If I was living in New Orleans and I new that a Hurricane was coming I would Pack my bags and leave New Orleans because I don't want to lose anything in the Hurricane.I would be afraid to move back because if another Hurricane came I would have to move again and I wouldn't like having to move back and forth from one place to another.
