A Sad postnote. About two years after Katrina, I was talking to our parish priest on the Mississippi gulf coast, who told me he had attended to more suicides in 2006 than he had in his entire career combined.
Having your world destroyed by a major hurricane is a life changing event, and not often for the better. Anyone in one should seek counseling and stay with it for years, as it often takes a while for repressed stress to manifest itself.
