re: What was Katrina like?

My old best friend and I sat at his grandma's house on the Lakefront in Mandeville, and watched it come in for a couple of hours the day before. You could see a perfectly defined edge when looking South, and the clouds swirling. I remember thinking, "Damn, this isn't gonna be good", and having that sinking feeling that doesn't go away. That was one of the probably 3 times I've been scared in my 31 years on this earth. Just sitting there looking at it with the radio blaring the Cat 5 warnings in the background was freaky as hell


Eta: One of my sisters claims to have PTSD from it, and it makes me want to strangle her with my bare hands. She lived in Charleston, and didn't come back for two years. A lot of people lie about stuff for attention
