Gwen Holmes, a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, rests at the table during the Po’boy Palooza and Hurricane Party inside Tea Bayou on Saturday, Aug. 29. “We like to eat here because the food reminds us of home,” Holmes said. Holmes and her family were without electricity for 3 weeks after Hurricane Katrina’s storm surge breached the levees surrounding New Orleans. Her journey afterwards eventually brought her to Bowling Green.
