"When I got to Lakeview, I really cried. I was thinking about other people, when I saw the damage to other people's property, I didn't think about myself anymore. I personally can't blame anybody...that's why they call [it a] disaster. It is something that if they know they would do something about it, but It has happened. They have tried to fix the problem and if they don't it is going to be again the same thing." Hadi Amini's home was only 50 yards from the 17th Street Canal in New Orleans when the levee broke following Hurricane Katrina two months ago. A section of his home was completely missing and the rest of his home ruined by the floodwaters. Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2005.
