I never lived in NO, but at one point I applied to go to UNO (even got a scholarship) but circumstances beyond my control kept me in Baltimore. I've always had a love for that city and there's something remarkable about the way that you can almost breathe the magick in the air as soon as you step out of the car.

I only hope that at least some of it remains after the town is rebuilt and a part of me is seeing this as the last of the magick leaving the United States. I don't know why, but it's been floating through my head since I first read about Katrina being the long talked about hurricane that would finally sink the city.
