I know some people are tired of hearing about Hurricane Katrina over and over again, and I know there are other topics on it, but I was wondering how Katrina has affected you as individuals.

For example, gas prices, that affects everyone. Tell how Katrina has affected you and/or your friends and relatives.



[EDIT] Another point just sorta popped in my head, how is this going to effect the future? Inflation.... Increase in food prices..... more poverty....... Life without oil *gasp* ...

lunch prices have risen 20 cents, up to $2.00
gas prices (duh)
and because of gas prices, i'm working to pay for them myself.

i know, it really isn't anything compared to what others have to suffer, but meh.

Um, it's affected me by making me lose my will to live in New Orleans when I grow up.

The French sector is completely.... abolished [I guess I would say]. Eh, that beauty is .... gone; just a pile of "leftovers" now.

A lot of kids that used to live in New Orleans, have transferred into my school.

A few college students from Tulane university have transferred to my school.

Katrina has affected because it makes me think this kinda thing could happen to me, in my city. Especially since I live in Florida.

Well, Texas is right by Lousiana, so we did get a thunderstorm and the electricity went out (right in a school event). We have quite a few kids from New Orleans that are in our classes.

One of my best friends lives in Miami, Florida, and his roof got totally blown off, he's doing fine though, although his neighborhood has no electricity...

My friend who'd moved to Mississippi had to move back here and may stay the rest of the school year now, since their schools won't reopen until January and they don't want to mess up her brother's senior year. Fortunately for her, her house barely got flooed and all they really need is a new roof. She was very lucky- and we're very lucky to have her back

We also keep getting new students from down there. Today we got someone in band from New Orleans.

YES! I'm in Texas..and at our school we had ~2200 kids already. Add more..and it's just going to be..well..horrible. Our hallways are narrow..and if you were to trip..you wouldn't be able to get up. blah.


Gas is a nightmare...obviously. But it was going to go up anyways.

I'd also have to say that the teachers political views have come out. In 3 of my classes we're have these "discussions", although they've only gone left stubborn.gif and wouldn't let anyone from the right talk, and it's just..frustrating.

Eh. That's me.


I sound like i'm complaining. I'm not. I'm just trying to..oh idk.

It hasn't really affected me much, but I just feel really bad for the people that they show in TV.
For my mom it affected her money-wise. Cause she gave money to the red cross and to some of my family members that lived in Louisiana.

texas has been getting a lot of new students.
cinemark dropped the movie prices, to be "easy on the newcomers." i wonder if they would watch them anyway.

instead of money, it affected me alot. I never felt so bad in my life. When the Tsunami came by, i didnt give a damn but for some reason when Katrina came, I felt like crying.
