I'm not tearing up.
Maybe it's because I'm having a hard time comprehending the level of destruction that could happen.
I've read many many accounts since last night and still, it's hard to fathom the intensity of the storm and the damage it'll cause.
I was stationed in Biloxi in the 80's, they had us watch a video about Hurricane Camille when we in-processed. For us northerners it was a real eye opener. That hurricane changed the coastline forever. People were hosting parties, had no idea how dangerous the storm was. Reports of people riding mattresses out of 3rd floor windows, never to be seen again. It is just so hard to comprehend, the strength of nature.
