These are the eyes of disarray

Well, I spoke too soon it seems. A levee repair failed in New Orleans yesterday, and the city is anticipated to get 12 more feet of water today. This news coverage makes me nauseous; every story I see reminds me of someone else I need to call and check up on. Roughly half of the people I knew in school are from the areas most affected, and many live there currently. My ex-boyfriend, my freshman year roommate, my Zeta big sis and my grand-lil-sis....

My grandfather and a family friend are heading back soon to survey the damage. I wonder what they'll find when they get there.
