It’s been more than a week since Katrina hit South Florida and I can’t help thinking how lucky we all were after seeing the widespread destruction in New Orleans and Mississippi. Nature has its own ways of showing its might and man is almost never a match to its fury. Every once in a while it raises its head to deliver a lethal blow which we all take a long time to recover from. From the tsunamis and the earthquakes to the hurricanes, nature’s law of balancing things is quite simply beyond description. Nature has always shown its might ever since one can remember, but the only worry is its alarming rate of recurrence of late. We can only pray and hope that the people in the Gulf Coast are able to rebuild their lives but the indelible scar of the brutal attack will remain till eternity.

As I had mentioned in my previous post, I did take a few pictures of Katrina’s destruction and I am posting them here as words can never describe things like a picture does.

From huge uplifts in the pavements……….

to ripped apart road signs……..

to cracked walls……..

to downed trees blocking roads……..

to weak trees being uprooted……

to trees sheared in half………

to waterlogged streets and downed power lines.

But life cannot stop and it moves on bringing another beautiful day to cheer people up.
