Well, Lived thru Ivan, ran all the way thru Dennis, now we surivived a close pass with Katrina. I am really beginnin to hate Florida.
No real damage to Robby's house, so we're okay. We have power back after only a day without. No trees fell here, that i can see.

The real danger is in New Orleans right now. The pics on tv from there are just devastating. Houses and businesses and cars, where all u can see are roofs. The coast guard has been cutting thru roofs to let ppl trapped in houses out. Most of the city is under water. And for those of u that don't know, New Orleans is so deep under sea level that it doesn't normally drain. Both the systems of levee pumps were totally overpowered by this storm and when they lost power, they lost even that ability. I fear that it will b a long time before the crescent city is open for tourists again. I only hope that my brother tygers in the Audobahn Zoo survived this storm.

I know ppl pray for me, but i ask that u send ur prayers to all the victims of hurricane Katrina. Storms like that r called city killers for a reason. I only hope that such dangers urge ppl to plan and build cities more in tune with nature and natural disasters instead of putting ourselves in harms way without a care. Just somethin to think and pray and meditate on.
