Just My Rambling

I have been glued to the TV tonight watching the development of Hurricane Gustav. It is expected to hit New Orleans early Monday. According to CNN, 1.9 million people have evacuated the Louisiana coastal towns. I just can’t imagine how the people of New Orleans are feeling now. Most of them have just barely started recovering from Hurricane Katrina and now another hurricane is about to strike, possibly destroying all their rebuilding efforts.
Looking at the out-of-gas signs at the gas stations, empty ATMs, empty aisles at the grocery stores, shuttering up the houses on TV brought back a lot of memories of the time when we were caught in Hurricane Frances & Jeanne in 2004. They were Category 3s and that’s what Gustav is expected to be when it hits land. It was definitely not a good experience and pretty scary. I really hope that Gustav will lose wind before landfall.
