The New Orleans edition of The Times-Picayune in 2002 ran a five-part series, 'Washing Away', that eerily foretold the events that unfolded in the city in the hours and days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005. The series by John McQuaid and Mark Schleifstein addressed questions central to the survival of the city and its residents in a situation in which the reality was not if, but when, a major hurricane would hit New Orleans.
