Hurricane Katrina is Coming

Posted on | August 28, 2005 |

I am writing today about the impending disaster in Lousianna, Hurricane Katrina. The people that live near where the hurricane is likely to hit are in my thoughts tonight. Especially since the storm is supposed to make land fall sometime tommorrow morning. I hope that many people survive and very few die. I like to think that with the new technology and better understanding of hurricanes that many people can survive. Who cares about stuff? I realize stuff is not always replacable but is more replacable then a human life. I have been evacuted once because of a hurricane.

My parents owned a campsite in Hortown, Va. Which is right over the bridge from Chincoteaque and Assateaque, where the famed ponies live. I was scared then, I was young teenager so this had to been a hurricane in the early 90’s. When I was much younger and Gloria was a threat to where I lived in Pennsylvania just north of Philadelphia. I remember my mom and biological father packing up some of our stuff and heading to my grandparent’s house a few miles away because they had a basement and their house was made of brick while our was just a house trailer. I remember the fast wind and the heavy rains as we waited the storm out. I was definatley scared that night. But I could never imagine the fear of a catergory 5 hurricane coming my way.I am glad that I live here in central PA.

I completely horrified of tornados and probably of hurricanes I have just never been in any and I don’t plan to be in one any time soon. I was offered a lot of money to attend the University of Tampa. I declined because of the hurricanes.

I wish everyone in the storm’s path good luck and you are in my thoughts.
