As a life long resident of neighboring Louisiana, I experienced the storm and saw first hand the destruction it brought, even where I live roughly 100 miles inland.We always see the pictures of the destruction on the news. Destruction makes for good headlines in today's world. We never really see what goes on after though. The rescuers and volunteers who come and help pick up the pieces are rarely the highlight on any news channel. If all you ever saw was what the news displayed, you would be led to believe that the coast was simply left a disaster or that some little elves came and did the clean up. Most of us who live here, know better.I offer my sincere thanks, not only to Anthony Veltri for sharing his experiences through this book, but to every man and woman who came down to the coast and helped put it back together. This book offers a behind the scenes look at the people who came to our aid, and the methods and tools they used to get the job done. Mother Nature will always come back to put us in our place, and it is a very humbling and awe inspiring experience, to stand in the eye of the storm, but it can never compare to the feelings inspired when I see the way people band together to help one another in the aftermath. That is where hope is found.
