This heart-wrenching piece personalizes all of the coverage of Hurricane Katrina that mainstream media has produced since the disaster. The introduction, with its skillful use of music and its vividly specific script, captures the listener's attention immediately. The intensely visual nature of the entire story, with all of its details and nuances, represents the greatest strength of an excellent piece. Some variation of sound within the piece, either through music or voicing, would enhance the overall quality. Still, this story deserves a place in any show covering Katrina's aftermath.
