Hurricane Rita

The multi-billion dollar program was supposed to get Louisiana families back into their homes. For many, it only got them into a court of law.

If there was ever a visual comparison of Hurricane Rita vs. Hurricane Laura this would be it.

Wow I can't believe it has been 10 years since Hurricane Rita. So much has changed in the past 10 years. I have so many memories from that time from the preparation at the radio station to the order to evacuate. Here is my look back at the events and things I experienced during that crazy time.

Watching the video above will really take you back -- you can see some of the direct damage Hurricane Rita left behind, still fresh on the ground in 2005.

Abe Manuel Jr. released a CD called "Swire from Grand Chenier" a few years back which included the hit song "Hurricane Woman".  The song talks about the devastation from Hurricanes Rita, Katrina, and the infamous Hurricane Audrey in 1957. This video shows some of the destruction the hurricane's did to our coast line and damage to people's homes.  This is a great video to watch
