Commemorates Milestone: Washington D.C. Krewe Honors 20-Year Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
The Krewe of Pyros, a Mardi Gras organisation based in Washington, D.C., continues to stand strong 20 years after Hurricane Katrina. Led by Executive Director Lytaria "Cuba" Walker and President Cleve Davis, the krewe is composed of transplants from Louisiana who experienced the devastating storm firsthand.
Cleve Davis, reflecting on the impact of Hurricane Katrina, described the loss and love felt by the members of the Krewe of Pyros. "We held," Davis stated, demonstrating the resilience that has become synonymous with the krewe.
The pain from Hurricane Katrina still lingers among the members, but it has not deterred them from serving their community. The Krewe of Pyros is deeply involved in community service, supporting others and promoting policies to prevent future disasters.
Over the years, the Krewe of Pyros has evolved and strengthened in their ability to respond to storms. They are now capable of assisting in any storm that may occur, a testament to their progress.
The anniversary of Hurricane Katrina was a time for reflection and prayer for the members of the Krewe of Pyros. They gathered to remember the past and look towards the future, finding hope among the grief.
The Krewe of Pyros' event served as a memorial and a testament to their progress. It was also an opportunity for them to acknowledge their achievements 10 years after their founding.
Beyond their focus on community service and disaster prevention, the Krewe of Pyros brings elements of Louisiana culture to Washington, D.C. The New Orleans transplanted crew active in Washington, D.C., affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, is called the "Preservation Hall Jazz Band."
Among the Krewe of Pyros' members, many were in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. This shared experience has only strengthened their bond and their commitment to their organisation.
Despite the challenges they have faced, the Krewe of Pyros has developed a sense of capability and ability that is evident in their response to disasters and their service to their community. They are a shining example of resilience and determination.
