Singer/Songwriter Susan Cowsill, a NOLA survivor who lost her brother Barry to Katrina.

Sometimes I wonder if people HAVE forgotten about NOLA. Powerful images and music to remind us all of what is STILL going on there!

4. I knew Barry died ....

and his story is just one of thousands, but I don't think we'll ever really know how many lives were lost.

"Both Barry Cowsill and his sister Susan were living in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck on August 29, 2005. According to cowsill.com, Susan and her husband left New Orleans and were accounted for. However, most of her belongings at her New Orleans home were destroyed. It was reported that Barry was spotted at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on August 29, but was not heard from after leaving phone messages for his sister on September 1. He was believed to have been spotted in some tape footage taken by a TV news crew on or about September 5, although the person seen living on the street in the footage is not clearly resolved. A badly decomposed body recovered from the Chartres Street Wharf in New Orleans on December 28 was identified on January 4, 2006 as Barry. <2> The official cause of death is believed to be drowning; the New Orleans coroner found no signs of foul play.

Barry is survived by his two daughters, one son and two grandsons, as well as a stepdaughter and two step-granddaughters."
