NEW YORK (AP) - Le'Ton Jackson packed a few T-shirts and jeans before heading north to escape Hurricane Katrina's wrath. Her weekend plans turned into a weekslong stay, and pretty soon it dawned on her: New York's winter is on the way, and she might actually need a coat.
"I already caught a cold," said the 26-year-old New Orleans resident. "It was horrible!"
For the first time in their lives, some Katrina victims from the Deep South are buying winter jackets and watching the leaves change. Many have never seen snow.
