So, here we go again. It's funny, before Katrina there were maybe 3 bad storms in the last 60 years. Now it looks like we're getting another one almost 3 year to the day of the b***h's landfall.
Another storm in the gulf. Another hurrication. Except this time it won't be 2 days of goofing around untill the all clear signal. It's different now. You can see it in people's faces and hear it in their voices. We're scared and nervous and anxious. 5 years ago a storm like this wouldn't be treated seriously for another day or two. And by treated seriously, I mean making a hotel reservation, topping off the gas tank, or hunkering down with a few sheets of plywood and some candles. Now people are only talking about leaving- about heading far North, sure Gustav is coming right up the river.
I've heard talk of not coming back if this is another Katrina. For a New Orleanian, that's serious. For all it's faults, we still love this city. Few have given up on it. But this scares me.
We shall see what happens but right now it doesn't look good. Didn't mean to lay our problems on you guys but thought it might be interesting to some.

there's another hurricane headed that way? Is this that "Gustav" one?
but true non the less, the climate will never stop getting worse & its sad to see a whole city slowly give up and just desert it.
