Katrina’s 20-Year Ghost Town Tour: New Orleans Still RSVP’d
Nearly 1,400 souls clocked out early when Hurricane Katrina crashed Louisiana and Mississippi like an unwelcome party crasher. New Orleans took the hardest hit, leaving the city with an 'uneven recovery' that’s still limping 20 years later. Imagine a two-decade hangover but instead of booze, it's floods and rebuilding nightmares. Officials quietly admit the scars remain, proving Mother Nature's mess isn’t your morning hiccup; it’s a 20-year eviction notice that New Orleans just can’t shake.

Katrina didn't just drop by for a hurricane happy hour; it turned New Orleans into a 20-year teardown zone with nearly 1,400 lives lost and the city’s recovery stuck in perpetual snooze mode.
Getting through Katrina’s aftermath felt like rebooting Windows 95 on a potato: sluggish, frustrating, and 20 years of buffering still later, New Orleans is barely online.
If 'uneven recovery' was a sport, New Orleans would have gold medals—and a lifetime ban for doping the floodwaters with tragedy.
