Report Copyright Violation | Caskets are still scattered around a Louisiana community as residents struggle to recover from Hurricane Ida How sad...
Some of those caskets are still sitting there almost four weeks after the category 4 storm, as residents work to salvage anything they can from their homes and prepare for the grueling process of rebuilding.
“It caused people to be in disarray,” said Haywood Johnson, the pastor of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Ironton. “They’re shocked by the magnitude of the destruction, but they’re even more so overwhelmed by their loved ones floating and ending up landing in the streets and people’s yards and on the side of the levee and out in the field, and it’s just, just overwhelming.”
Ironton sits on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, about 25 miles southeast of New Orleans.
Johnson, 74, told CNN that he was born and raised there and has been the church’s pastor for 22 years.
The all-Black community is very tight knit, and families have lived there for generations, Johnson said. [ link to trinitynewscommentary.com (secure)] Susie
