Hurricane Katrina survivor and Gulfport residents Irene Smith (left) and Thomas Lynch laugh as they share their experiences of living away from home following Hurricane Katrina, at their temporary home at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC, Wednesday, September 8, 2010. These elderly citizens braved the horrible and deadly Hurricane Katrina, riding out the storm where they lived, at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Missipssippi.  On October 4, they will make the journey back to their home just over five years after Hurricane Katrina obliterated their town. (Rod Lamkey Jr./MCT
