Even now, it has yet to fully recover. Cameron Parish had about 10,000 residents before Rita. That's fallen to fewer than 6,700 since the storm, according to U.S. Census data. http://www.houmatoday.com/article/20150923/HURBLOG/150929917 Two things stood out to him in the days following Rita: the number of volunteers from all over the state and country who gave their time to help the country recover, and the lack of help from the federal government. I remember we were all following the posts of the canetalk members who were affected by Rita & hoping for the best outcome, a resilient bunch |
