'“I was 12 years old when Hurricane Katrina hit,” said Sylve. “That was one of the worst devastations of my whole entire life. Down in Louisiana, in New Orleans, usually when a hurricane comes, it misses. We usually didn’t get hit by them. But, this was a category five, and when it came through we thought we would be able to come back. But, we got 15 or 16 feet of water. I lost my house and everything, it was a tragedy.”'
