Jamie Billiot, a Houma tribal member and director of the Dulac Community Center, visited on Tuesday the Louisiana bayou town where she lives and works. Dulac, La., where many Houmas live, is 15 miles north of Cocodrie, La., site of Hurricane Gustav's landfall Monday.
"As soon as we got to the end of the street," where the community center was located, "I took a deep breath and realized that, yes, we were in a lake," Billiot wrote in a reznet blog.
She shared with reznet her photos of hurricane damage in Dulac and Terrebonne Parish. Read Billiot's hurricane blog entries. [1]
