re: What was Katrina like?

How do you not remember anything? I was 15 and can recant my issues perfectly. I had just met this girl a few weeks before. Friday the third was supposed to be our first date. Alas the date never happened. Society had become fear stricken with news of the impending storm. Sunday morning at about 3 am. Father broke stance and decided we should leave. We left Kenner heading west and then north towards Hammond. The interstate was a parking lot. We got off and took back highways and by ways east from louisiana all the way to Florida. Checked in at destin. Stayed for a few hours when they began to evacuate the islands. Ended up in crestview at some shitty hotel. Finally one of my dad's cousins who lives in Milton got a hold of us. Lived the high life at his spot for a few days. Came back when they still had water in the city at my uncles in mandeville. He acquired an FBI badge from certain sources. We traveled daily into the city and to my house. Didn't flood. How do you not pay attention to the news during a disaster like that ???
