Hurrication?

It rained almost all day today, but the mail got through. There has been some confusion about our address, then Rob stopped all the mail to this address before he left town, then started it again, and so far we haven't received any mail in our box. We double-checked with the post office downtown, sent ourselves a postcard, etc… but ultimately the man to see is the man on the route. That we did today.
Corey assured us that our mail would be delivered right to our box if it got to New Orleans, so that's good enough for us. Now we can start getting Netflix here. . . and our bills.
Corey has lived in New Orleans all his life, except for a brief time in Plano, Texas. "That was during my hurrication," he said.
"Hurrication?"
"Yes," he smiled. "After Katrina, a lot of us had to leave town for a while. So we just called it that."
