To be quite honest, it really doesn't sit in till you see it first hand. While I'm down here, we went to see some of the damage Katrina did. Even to this day, which is 6/7 years later, there is still quite a lot of damaged areas. Though, what really got me, was seeing this photo last night:
I was there about a month ago.

I'm still in New Orleans. They cancelled both flights and gave me new ones Thursday.
Though, when this happened, it was quite scary. And it was very hot that day too:
