Photos and Story by
Jed Duvall
Special to the Rappahannock News
Rappahannock resident Jed Duvall, an occasional contributor to these pages, spent ten days in New Orleans at the end of September as a guest of his friend Steve Steinberg, who lives in the city and survived Katrina and the subsequent flooding. This is Jed’s scrapbook of New Orleans scenes.
The people who live there call it the “misery tour”. They fled the hurricane, and lived in exile because their homes were flooded after Katrina passed. Some returned in a few months, some just a few weeks ago. Now, as they drive a visitor through the miles and miles of wreckage and misery, they can point out the few who are back, and the empty homes of many who may never return.
