Oprah on the two-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina

 

In August 2005, the world watched as Hurricane Katrina swept ashore and wrecked havoc on the Gulf Coast. Millions lost their homes, and more than 1,000 lost their lives.

It's been two years since the wind and rain subsided, but the storm rages on. The Washington Post reports that the suicide rate in New Orleans has skyrocketed 300 percent, and the murder rate is spiraling out of control.
