Overview

In the Eye of the Storm brings the reader to the Abyss of Hurricane Katrina, To a depth that has never been explored or expressed in writing or conversations. Retired NOPD Superintendent Warren Riley writes this story of NOPD, government officials, and its citizens just before Katrina's arrival and through the days to follow. Warren Riley rode the storm out in the eye; he was the second in command of NOPD and was appointed as the Superintendent of Police 29 days after Katrina destroyed the Big Easy. Riley brings you in 96 hours pre-landfall and takes you on a journey that does not end for another 21 days, He captures the cavalier manner that NOLA is known for and illustrates it in writing as you have never experience. The joyful spirit as well as the indifferent or lackadaisical attitude that Newlin's people and leadership are known for around the world. Riley vividly captures your attention as NOLA goes from partying hours before landfall to concern, fear, chaos, death, destruction, politics, and the power or intimidation of the people in the shadows, the shadow government. Hurricane Katrina left New Orleans naked, dysfunctional, and terrified. NOLA a city with no power, no lights, no potable water, little food for survivors, 90 plus degree heat, and sweltering humidity for the next 21days. Through it all, New Orleans was bent but she was not broken!
