He felt as if he were waking up from a long forgotten dream. A dream he’d once had as a little boy (Page 1, paragraph 1).” This reminded me of a time in my life when it felt like everything was a dream.

PBS Frontline Documentary, ‘The Storm In spite of decades of planning for disasters, federal, state, and local authorities still failed to cope with Hurricane Katrina. PBS Frontline’s documentary The Storm was produced following the destruction of human life and property by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and its environs.
