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.

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."
