So the Houston Astros won the 2017 World Series last night with a Game 7 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers (hooray... I don't like the NY Yankees, OR the LA Dodgers). It was a welcome bit of relief and happiness from the otherwise mass depression left by Harvey in Houston in late August. That got me thinking about when Katrina hit New Orleans, and the Saints almost immediately had a wonderful season and almost made the Super Bowl. Started looking around, and found an interesting article.

Aside from the glaring error in the article (Katrina was in 2005, more than "a few months" before the Saints won the 2010 SB), there seem to be some examples of teams being lifted to great heights following a natural disaster in their areas. I know there's more examples, but can't think of any at the moment. I thought the Yankees may have won after 9/11, but looked it up and that wasn't the case. Good for Houston, though..... they deserved the win.
