"It is has been three weeks since Hurricane Ike blew ashore on Galveston Island bringing up to 20 feet of Gulf waters over the low-lying land, killing a still yet to be determined number of residents — several hundred remain missing — and inflicting billions of dollars in damage. The television satellite trucks and cable news stars are gone and the nation's collective eye has turned elsewhere. But thousands of area residents now live in a stench-filled world where the incongruous is normal and the dangerous real." — from a Time magazine report on life after Ike

Not what you think:
After Hurricane Katrina, the Louisiana State Museum in New Orleans' French Quarter evacuated 200,000 artifacts to Baton Rouge, where they've sat in storage ever since. Now the artifacts are all coming home.
Go to NPR and give a listen - oddly, I haven't found anything else on this transfer around the web. (You'd think the museum would at least have a press release or something..)

About this blog
After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
