摘要

At age 54, Ben Burkett has lived through four major hurricanes in his native Mississippi. He hunkered down with his family when 1969's Hurricane Camille cut a path of destruction and death through the state. But even that experience did not prepare the produce grower for the ravages of Katrina. In mid-October, the Mississippi Association of Cooperatives leader was among the hundreds of thousands who were still picking up pieces of shattered lives and livelihoods in the wake of what is called the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. With winds in excess of 150 miles per hour and tides of more than 20 feet, Hurricane Katrina smashed into the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, pummeling 90,000 square miles of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
