Hurricane, Hurricane, Go Away

The fact that Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast THREE years ago blows my mind. Although much progress has been made in the recovery process, there's still a long way to go.

And then there's Gustav. Word on the street is it's crazy out there - people filling up gas tanks, stocking up on supplies. I remember after Katrina we sat outside in lawn chairs for days just praying for a breeze. I stripped our daughter, who was a baby at the time down to her diaper because of the lack of A/C. Ice and gas were like gold and silver. And we had it good in the central part of the state.

I feel like we'll definitely be more prepared this time. I was oblivious about Katrina until it was right on us. I bebopped into work that morning like nothing was out of the ordinary. This time I'll be a little more cautious and stock up. I just hope that Gustav will show a little mercy.
