Description
The house on this property was completely destroyed by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. The owners were left with a city lot, covered in mud, with no electricity or water and only 3 trees out of 13.
Step One in recovery was physically and mentally demanding. Fallen mature trees were sawed up and their stumps burned. Tons of stinky mud was shoveled up and a small area on the remaining concrete parking area was finally clean enough to park a FEMA provided travel trailer. Electric and water were restored.
The couple that lost the house, cleaned and cleared their lot and then lived in the travel trailer for the next 2.5 years.
