Katrina Five Years Later
Mary Mujahid, right, who was evacuated to Greenville from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, sits with her granddaughter Granda Welch, left, and Granda’s daughter Terri Lynn Hicks at Mary’s new home in Greenville on Thursday, August 26, 2010.
I was sent to shoot the amazing story of this family on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Both grandmother and granddaughter survived and eventually made it out of the hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, but they had very different experiences. Even five years later, emotions of gratitude and anger were running high.
