SLIDELL, LA (2005) -
Walt and Kathy Henderson spent the week of
Thanksgiving helping to build much needed homes for
the Habitat
for Humanity "Operation Home Delivery" in Slidell,
Louisiana. Among thousands of volunteers, they worked together to help restore
housing to the displaced families affected by Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. The area where Walt & Kathy were
assigned is located on the north side of Lake Ponchatrain.
During the storms, this area
got hit with a 30 foot wall of water, the surge
carried 6 miles inland before it was over. The area
where they were building (right photo) had 4 feet of water during
the hurricane and is about 2 miles from the lake.
