Katrina Aftermath: After the Flood (This American Life from WBEZ Chicago)

After the Flood (This American Life from WBEZ Chicago)

Surprising stories from survivors in New Orleans. We give people who were in the storm more time than daily news coverage can to tell their stories and talk about what they're thinking. This leads to a number of ideas that haven't made it into the regular news coverage.

LSRC 304 and 4304 lead southbound train 326S past a flooded section just after Third and Franklin Street in Alpena Michigan. This scene occurs just about every year as the snow starts to melt.

One thing that I find interesting about traveling ahead of an election is that you see a lot of local issues out on full display. This display near the intersection of US 78 and I-26 in North Charleston, South Carolina is a perfect example, with this clearly homemade sign endorsing Carlton Walker for the 15th District for the South Carolina House of Representatives, with the message “No Moore men in little girls’ sports” beneath it. I was able to do some research later to determine that Walker ultimately lost the race, but I don’t understand the issue being discussed on the lower sign. I assume that if I were local, it would make more sense. My best guess is that it has something to do with transgender issues, and assuming that I am correct about that, I suspect that I would probably disagree with the sentiments being expressed here.

I was playing in a concert with the village band at a school in Oadby today. Our concert ended upon the arrival of an RAF Hurricane flypast.
I realise now that the shutter speed needs to be lower so as not to freeze the prop

Members of the West Virginia National Guard conduct flood recovery missions near Tridelphia, West Virginia, June 17, 2025. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey declared a state of emergency for Ohio County, West Virginia, after a deadly flash flooding event caused massive damages within the county. Soldiers of the 115th Engineer Vertical Construction Company, 119th Engineer Company (SAPPER), 601st Engineer Support Company, and 863rd Military Police Company are assisting local emergency management, first responder and public works personnel in conducting debris and traffic management duties along with public liaison missions.

Magazine Street, Uptown New Orleans. This part of town had hurricane wind damaged, but escaped the Federal Flood that deluged the majority of the city.

A stormy Talisker Bay on Skye. The day was as grey as this looks with the exception of this buoy and what at first I thought was a bollard but is actually a gauntlet. Still, it looked wild and beautiful and Talisker waterfall was in full flow also.
NickD58 posted a photo:
It doesn't really look too stormy here but the wind was blowing and the rain was falling. The water coming down the waterfall was occasionally pushed upwards when a very strong gust of wind would hit the cliffs.

I installed a new app. Don’t worry, it does more than this. Hopefully I can practice more after France and Christmas.

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina became one of the most destructive storms to ever hit the U.S. In response, NCMEC handled 34,045 calls and helped resolve 5,192 missing child cases.

A major force behind those resolutions were the members of NCMEC’s Team Adam, a group of retired law enforcement volunteers who are deployed in cases of critically missing children. Due to NCMEC’s efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Congress mandated the establishment of the National Emergency Child Locator Center (NECLC), which NCMEC now operates during Presidentially declared disasters at the request of FEMA.
