I just posted a LOT of pictures from our Hurricane Katrina mission. We took two Disaster Relief Teams to Picayune, MS, and Slidell, LA and surrounding areas and did tree work for 2 weeks...removing trees from houses and hazardous limb removals primarily. After 2-3 days of hard tree work we would rest by delivering supplies to remote areas.

The pictures are posted at

WOW!! Totally devastating. Thanks for taking the time to post the pics and for helping out the hurricane victims. Looks like alot of rigging involved, and looks like you had alot of rigging gear to accomplish the tasks at hand. Great job. /forum/images/graemlins/pbj.gif

Yep, a real charlie-foxtrot...a lot of the trees look like victims of aerial bomb bursts. Those that broke off at 20-30 feet up usually did the most damage. Rigging was a big challenge and kept several of us scratching our heads as we collaborated on how to not make things worse.

Glad to post the pictures. There were plenty of folks on this board and AS that were thinking of us and doing what they could do to help...the pictures are a way to say, "Thanks for your support".
 
That is a very poignant write up...thanks for sharing.

You were at Ground Zero in New Orleans. It sounds like some tough times there...high population density makes for a different kind of experience than we had.

You saw a lot worse than we did...but your description of a "ghost town" hit home. We delivered supplies a few days to remote areas. There was one large neighborhood that had a lot of folks grouped into camps because the homes were too flooded to stay in.

They had lots of supplies stacked up, looked like they were hoarding them, maybe selling them somewhere. We tried not to leave too many supplies there. One street I went down there (they were all dirt roads) looked normal but everything was abandoned...cars, houses, toys...very quiet and eerie. I was glad to leave.
