In August 2005 as we all know that New Orleans was hit by Hurricane Katrina. It was a deadly storm that killed lots of people.It destroyed everything,causing people to have to leave their town.Many people loved New Orleans so much that they couldn't stand to be away from home to much loner and decided to go back.Some of the rapers that was from the area like Lil'Wayne, Birdman and etc. it devastated them.
They said on T.V that they didn't even have a child hood to go back to and it touched me deep in my heart.There was over 45,000 families living in the FEMA trailers. Still today there is 860 families living in FEMA still.There are also about 6,000 families who own homes but cant afford to rebuild them.Since the hurricane the city now has about 12,000 homeless people, that's double the amount of before the storm hit. The rich neighborhoods have rebounded but as for the poor its not so easy,i grew up in what some people call the poor neighborhood, but see we don't call it that its the ghetto or the hood.
