Sunday, August 28, 2005

Both of my brothers lost power for 1 - 2 days, and the part of Miami in which I grew up received 18 inches of rain.  We got only 5 inches by comparison and feel as if we escaped another close call.

I'm watching this storm strengthen over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and know that wherever it goes, hell will follow.  Some are predicting the Florida panhandle yet again, where they're still recovering from Hurricanes Ivan & Dennis.  Others are saying this will be the one that takes out New Orleans.  They're comparing it to Camille, one of the worst storms ever.  It's as powerful as Andrew was but it looks bigger.
