Blessed Despite The Storms

Doroland Dorceus persists through all the storms after going through Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Remember what you did yesterday? Most will answer yes.

How about last week? Some may recall.

Last month? Not so much.

How about remembering what happened to you 11 years ago this week? Uh, no!

One University of Memphis Tigers football player remembers vividly what he was going through 11 years ago this week. And, he was just 11 years old at the time.
That player is redshirt junior running back Doroland Dorceus, and 11 years ago this week, he and his family survived one of the greatest natural disasters to hit the United States mainland: Hurricane Katrina.
