The situation in Louisiana and Mississippi is looking increasingly desperate. There is talk of many hundreds dead in New Orleans, martial law has had to be imposed and most of the city is underwater. For once I feel a personal connection to the tragedy as we visited New Orleans as part of our big fly-drive tour of the US a few years ago and I was very taken with the city, particularly its older areas. From the varied, vibrant French Quarter to the peaceful, olde worlde feel of the Garden District it was a beautiful place and one I would go back to. It is sad to think of it as drowned now. I hope they can recover and rebuild.
