My worst memory of Katrina occured in Laural, MS. I was with my family inlcuding my two very young nieces. I stood in line with my sister at a Walgreens for 8 hours to get diapers. I saw humanity falling apart when they said we would be the last two allowed in for the day. The rush of people pushed against the door. It was unforgetable.\r\n However, as the storm passed all of the adults watched the trees falling in front of the door and one caving part of the roof in of the house we were saying in. My niece, who was almost a year and half at the time, innocently looked out the door and said \"bye bye trees\". In our moment of complete dispair we found hope for the future.
