Phoenix, LA Gallery

Rebuilding Phoenix, Louisiana – Another area that was hard hit by Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of Hurricane Rita was a small town of 300 people 25 miles South of New Orleans named Phoenix, Louisiana. The area was under water as deep as 10 feet for over a month. Many of the families have lived in this community for several generations, dating back before the Civil War. The buildings in the town were destroyed, but the people are strong and resolute to rebuild. A.B. May and its employees continue to make frequent trips to Phoenix to help in the reconstruction.
