It is always bittersweet after a hurricane comes through and misses the place you call home. While I’m absolutely ecstatic that we managed to receive no ill effects, it is sad to see how much devastation Katrina did. Not only is New Orleans famously below sea level, but it also has a large population of homeless people and many others who have little more than the clothes on their back. When it is all said and done, the death toll and damage of this storm will be beyond anything we have seen before. Unfortunately, this one may even surpass Andrew as the storm we compare all the others too. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone today who was touched in some way by this storm.
