Thanks for the info about the gas. My tank is less than half full... thank you for reminding me to fill up, FRiend!
I remember when Katrina hit. Things started going downhill about 6am that morning for us. Hubby had to go in 1/2 day as he’s support staff. I’d been up all night with a brand new baby (4w old that day in fact) and was exhausted. No way the baby was sleeping with all that racket. Hubby walked in about 12:30pm and I essentially handed him the baby and ran upstairs. Put in earplugs and slept through Katrina. When I woke up about 7:00 that evening there was a goodly breeze coming in the windows. He’d basically sat back and watched out the french doors on the lee side of the house. He watched limbs go by. Shingles go by. Baby just wide eyed. Once I woke up we stayed up and talked until about 10:00 and he went to sleep leaving me night shift with the baby again.
So, I listened to WWL out of NO to see what was going on there. At that point the news stations thought NO had caught a break with flooding. But, around midnight there started to be callers talking about water running down their street. Water 3-4ft deep running down their street. ‘That’s not good!’ said the DJ. Nope. Wasn’t. Listened to that all night as the DJ and civil defense finally figured out what had happened.
Meanwhile, we lived in an urban area not too far from the bad side of town. With windows open. So I found my hubby’s .45. Just me, the baby, a candle, the radio and hubby’s .45 Will never forget that.
