The Forgotten Hurricane
Originally Published on April 16, 2017 With all of the bad weather talk and scares going on here in the great state of Alabama, it brings me back to a weather emergency that I experienced. I thought I’d share my recollection of events. The rest of the country loves to talk about Hurricane Katrina, nobody seems to remember the one that affected some of our lives in Lake Charles, Cameron, and Sulphur the most though… which were equally as terrible, just a different type of destruction. Some of you know which one I’m talking about, the forgotten hurricane… Rita. Which by the way, was only a few weeks after Katrina, and affected the Katrina victims that had fled to our town. (Double doozie.) Every time people find out where I’m from, they automatically assume that I must have been affected by Katrina and they love to talk about it. I always get a little annoyed. There is more to Louisiana than the wonderful city of New Orleans. There have been way more natural disasters than the one. I’m not saying that it wasn’t a horrific event, because it most certainly was. I’m just saying that for some of us, we experienced something similar that was not as publicized.
