I lived through the storm, though we did not suffer catastrophic damage due to being so far inland. The storm itself and the subsequent horrors sent me into an existential crisis of how awful things happen to good people.

Another idea I wanted to explore was the psychological damage of such an event rather than the material. Katrina proved to be a tipping point in my own mental health journey in that shortly afterward I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
