   Escaping Katrina
Ok, most of you guys know I live in New Orleans; for those of you who didn't, I live in New Orleans, now you know. Well, from what everyone keeps saying about Hurricane Katrina, this is most likly "The Big One." What I mean by this is that every year they predict that this will be a busy hurricane season and they remind us all that if a major Cat. 4 or 5 were to directly hit the city, it could go entirly under water, hense the Big One.

Now I won't lie, I'm freaking scared out of my mind about the prospect of my city of birth and childhood home will all be washed away in one foal swoop. I'm currently staying at my old roomie's house in North Louisiana, and the rest of my family and friends are scartered across the Southeastern states, and as far as I know, most of them are out of harm's way. The only exceptions to this are my cousin and my mom, both of whom have jobs that force them to stay. My cousin is a LA state trooper and my mom is a registared nurse at the Children's Hospital in New Orleans. I pray for their safety.

Friday seems so long ago, my last day of work, going to my brother's first football game of the year; then we turned on the 10pm news and it was all Katrina. Before this, the last I'd heard of then TS Katrina, it was suppossed to curve up and make landfall well east of Destin and Fort Walton Beach, FL. I guess this is yet another example of how quickly a person's life can change.
