More bad Katrina news in my area

Lovely Fontainebleau State Park, which is in Mandeville, the next town over, is now going to be Fontainebleau meadow. The winds of Katrina knocked down thousands of trees in Fontainebleau, and thousands more were so damaged that they must be cut down.

Fontainebleau State Park is, or rather, was, a 2,800-acre hardwood and pine park that is used by the local citizenry for camping, hiking, birding, and cycling. People who enjoy their picnics at Fontainebleau have a view of Lake Pontchartrain. I'm ashamed to admit it has been quite a few years since I spent any real time in the park, and now Fontainebleau, as I knew it, is gone.
