We’re far enough from the ocean here (Knox-vegas, TN) that we usually only get a lot of wind and rain from hurricanes that clobber the coast (Gulf and Atlantic).
Hurricane Katrina is heading inland… it’s to the west of us… closer to Nashville than here… we’re just getting some heavy winds and a little rain and a bunch of trees have lost branches… and there was a tornado warning…
Seems kind of strange considering how badly Louisiana and Mississippi got hit…
Addendum: The news from Louisiana / Mississippi ? Not even remotely good. The water in New Orleans keeps rising… apparently some parts of the city are so bad that they won’t show it on the news (Or maybe they can’t get to those parts yet?) And rumor has it that a large number of city residents didn’t have time to leave (And we’re not even talking about the ones who thought they knew better and decided to stay when they could have gotten out.). So… we could end up with large (For the US anyway) death tolls after all.
Where’s George?
