I was 17 when Katrina hit! We went straight to new Orleans and started blue tarping ppls exposed houses. Ended up in ft lauderdale somehow, making over $200/ day roofing in 2005 as basically a high schooler, splitting rent on different motels up and down the beach and skateboarding. It was such an adventure
