Katrina and the Lost City of New Orleans by Rod Amis

This is a story of Rod Amis and the time when Katrina hurricane hit New Orleans. Rod Amis is a bartender in New Orleans, in and around the French Quarter in the years before hurricane Katrina devastates the city. As Katrina hits his city and he frantically looks for his friends, he is both saddened, outraged and anxious.

He is saddened by the destruction of the city. He is outraged by the slow reaction of his country to devastation in New Orleans and the "surprise" about New Orleans that the news media and government officials express."
