A Year After the Flood of Emotional Disaster

One year after the worst hurricane disaster, people are still coping with the loss. Mentally and emotionally. They're slowly rebuilding but the trauma of the past year really makes it hard for some..maybe for most to get on with their lives. It's not only in New Orleans, other states too like Mississippi, and even some parts of Alabama are still coping with the disaster, one year after. People are optimistic though. Despite the continuing argument about the slow federal response and what the government should've done when the magnitude of the hurricane started to unleashed before everybody else's eyes, resiliency of the many residents and their determination to bring back everything to normal is great challenge to them but at the same time challenging themselves to rise after the storm of disaster.
