As the hells pealed, survivors o f
the storm gathered outside City
Hall, com m em orating the moment
at 9:38 a.m. when New O rleans be
gan its spiral into a watery hell.
M ayor Ray Nagin told the city at
a midday interfaith service it was
tim e to take responsibility for re
building.
“If governm ent can’t get you
your check on time, it says you
need to do something," Nagin said.
"It says your neighbors need to
com e together and all you need to
do is cook a pot o f red beans and
they'll bring over the ham m ers and
the nails."
Hurricane Katrina made landfall
65 miles south of the city in the tiny
fishing village o f Buras. W ithin
hours. New Orleans' protective levees
collapsed, causing one o f the worst
natural disasters in U.S. history that
killed more than 1,8(X) people.
O ne year later, the G u lf Coast
co m m em o ra ted the sto rm that
brought the region to its breaking
point.
In pockm arked neighborhoods
choked with weeds, in church pews
and in gutted com m unity centers,
residents held public and private
vigils. At each o f the city's broken
levees, they tossed w reaths o f flow
ers, sending them bobbing into the
calm, black water, m arking the ge
ography o f the ereseendoing flood.

ers, sending them bobbing into the

At a som ber prayer service in the
285-year-old St. Louis C athedral,
President Bush made an im pas
sioned plea for displaced residents
to return to N ew Orleans.
"I know you love New O rleans,
and New O rleans needs you," Bush
said. "She needs people com ing
home. She needs people - she needs
those saints to com e m arching
back."
Later, at the city's convention
center, w here thousands o f hag
gard refugees had waited in the
sw eltering sun for rescue after the
storm , the m ayor joined residents
in dedicating a memorial to Katrina's
dead. O ne by one, they laid a w hite
carnation at the m onum ent, saying
the nam e o f a loved one.
U n d er a c a lm , g ray sk y in
G ulfport, M iss., the com m unity re
m em bered 14 residents lost to the
storm.
In St. Bernard Parish, w here ju st
about every building was flooded
after the levees buckled, 400 people
gathered for mass at O ur Lady of
Prom pt Succor, achurch nam ed for
the saint to whom Catholics in Loui
siana traditionally pray for protec
tion from hurricanes.
The w orking class com m unity
lost 129 people to the flooding.
The one-year mark is also a re
m inder o f how far each survivor has
com e, G ulfport M ayor Brent W arr
noted as he spoke near calm w aters
o f the M ississippi sound.
"W e're not well. W e're not fin
ished, but I will say this: W e've
made it," W arr said. "Let's move on,
let's move forw ard, and let's do that
together."
