Tornadoes touching down all over La.
Yikes. What stream are you listening to?
I'm going offline and down for awhile. Just got a power surge and we're probably about to lose the electricity. If my phone line holds, I should be able to dial up later on battery.
Remember the Alamo!
Did I read somewhere earlier today that Florida has a shortage of gasoline...and, about to run out? (maybe I dreamed that at nap-time, er?)
Tornadoes touching down all over La.
*shakes head in sadness*
Aside from all the other damage this storm will do in Texas, I think it's also made it clear that a major American city will never be the same, ever. Maybe almost wiped off the map.
You know, it just struck me: I cried when Katrina hit and it seemed the city was gone, all the history, etc. I know I wasn't alone. Then with the president's speech, it seemed things were looking up, that it was possible to rebuild. Now, with the levees broken again and another storm apparently headed into the Gulf, I'm not so sure.
The loss of life is horrible. But it's also true that it seems the U.S. is about to lose a major city.
So I looked up the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's "Five Stages of Grief." It would be interesting to hear what people think fits in this situation:
· Denial
· Anger
· Bargaining
· Depression
· Acceptance
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Okay, I have to get to bed. Maybe this post is wildly off the mark, but I think, with time and perspective, it may not be.
Oh no! I have a dear friend in Louisiana. I hope she's okay, I think her power went out.
