The Killer Katrina

After living through our hellish summer last year, we felt very lucky that Katrina passed through Florida without leaving a drop of rain in our area.

Now watching this massive storm attack New Orleans, I feel doubly glad that we were so lucky this year.

I do feel very bad, however, for Louisiana and Alabama, which seem destined to get whacked by this storm.

We have friends in N'awlins, and they have safely evacuated already, so at least we don't need to worry about their lives. Now we'll just have to wonder about their homecoming. I just hope the loss of life there isn't too tragic.

But I will add, that I would easily take another two months of Charley/Frances/Jeanne to having one Katrina.
