re: What new things did you learn after being hit by a hurricane?

I learned after Katrina that all animal life was dead or had left, not a sound of anything in the air, dead quiet and pitch black at night.

That was pretty weird. and about 2 weeks out, all the down trees started dying and turning brown.

Another weird thing was those huge green flies everywhere. I guess it was the smell of rotting food in curbside fridges .

It was also interesting seeing the huge mound of debris on the Pontchartrain Expressway and the huge stacks of TVs on a slab in NO east. I guess it was the drop off area for their disposal.
