Battling the 500-Year Flood: Baton Rouge’s Resilience in the Face of Disaster
(image on right) Baton Rouge Flooding Captured” by Mr. Don M. Green. Published in Bloomberg Business Week / August 2017
As a photographer, I knew I had to document the 500-year flood in Baton Rouge. I drove around the city and reached Winbourne and North Foster.
When I saw rescue boats heading into the floodwaters, I knew I had to act. It wasn’t easy. The rescue boat was packed with people. There wasn’t much room for me and my camera gear. But I managed to squeeze myself and my equipment onto the boat. We set off into the floodwaters.
