I have been home for 3 weeks now.  The situation in the hurricane affected areas does not get much attention in the national news.  The long term rebuilding is just beginning with thousands still affected.  How quickly this leaves the news cycle.

I found an interesting NOAA site that provides detailed aerial photography for Katrina, Rita and Wilma storm damage.  The picture above is from that site.  It is a bit tedious so I put some links below.  Some damage is beyond imagination.   After the photo loads you will be able to use the zoom feature in IE for greater detail.  It will take a few moments depending on your connection speed and you will see a menu in the upper left and an Expand button on the lower right.  Click the expand button and use the scroll bars.

I have been contacted by the National Red Cross regarding registration for RTT support in the future.  I will update the Blog with information on the training as it happens.
