When he returned to his home, he slept on the roof rather than inside his wet house. While others in Fountain??s neighborhood have tried to reconstruct their one-level homes or have opted to simply start new lives in new cities, Fountain has chosen to cope with Hurricane Katrina the way Petruccio deals with his Kate in “The Taming of the Shrew...
