My Eye in the Storm: Katrina Close Up

About this ebook
My Eye In the Storm – Katrina Close Up is a memoir of the time I spent working as a Disaster Housing Inspector in 2005, after the most devastating hurricane of our lifetime hit the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Katrina. This is a story of the victims, the destruction, disaster workers, bad politics, and human behavior during a time when all aspects of life were pushed to the limit. I saw things I never thought possible; the incredible strength of Mother Nature made me realize how small and insignificant we all are in the face of a disaster of such magnitude. This memoir intertwines my personal story with those of so many others that I met while working the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, as well as Hurricanes Rita and Wilma.
