Hurricane and Tropical Cyclone

Now Playing: Brad Paisley - Little Moments

Most everyone I know that was in New Orleans is OK. That's the good news. The whole thing's sad, isn't it? Devastating. I've stopped watching the news. I can't stand to see another looter, and for me, watching makes it a story, not what's really happening. I can tell you that the majority of the citizens there didn't take hurricanes too seriously. I went through 3 with them. Two of which I came home from, worried. The last, I went to the bar. I guarantee I would have been at Madigan's this time too, had I been there.

In other news, there's a Hurricane coming my way too. Well, a tropical cylone (typhoon even!!). It's a category 5 right now. It's due to hit tomorrow. I feel much safer than those on the gulf coast because every building here is concrete ... out of experience. And I live just slightly lower than the top of a huge ridge overlooking the rest of the island. Just out of the wind, just above any water.

So here's to surviving :: lifts the glass ::

Now I am going to get a book to read during the chaos. Already bought candles, water, and tuna fish. See ya'll probably Tuesday. (Post Typhoon NABI)
