Honorable Mention Louisiana Alive Dane Hebert She surveys the damage of their latest tropical storm: the chickens drowned in the yard without a peep when floodwaters invaded Pointe-aux-Chenes and found its way into their home. She was only able to save the dogs. Their bed floated to the Gulf of Mexico and now likely sleeps a family of migrant workers for next year’s crop harvest in California. She raises a glass to their good fortune. Life is like that on Shrimpers Row – they never know when water will breach the levee and inch its way onto their Isle de Jean Charles property. She howls a heart-rending cry. Aside from opening the floodgates to let some water out, there is little she can do besides wait for the floodwaters to subside. |
