WRAL's Gulf Coast Diary
Reporter Amanda Lamb traveled to areas devastated by Hurricane Katrina. This blog chronicles her experiences.

6 weeks later.

We all knew it was going to happen one day...we just didn't think that day would be in our lifetime. Each generation before us had survived one hurricane after another, and we assumed history would repeat itself.

While the blame game continues....I see the Gulf Coast struggling just for a sense of normalcy.

As for Louisiana....you can blame almost everything on politics. It's our trademark, ever since the days of Huey Long. This is also the same state that almost elected a Klansman as Governor less than 15 years ago.

The Times-Picayune did a remarkable series a few years back almost writing the script as to what would happen in a "what if" scenario. Too bad no one paid attention then....I hope they re-read it now.....http://www.nola.com/hurricane/?/washingaway/

I'll post the entire photo library from our trip soon.
