If I couldn't find something to laugh at in the disasters I've gone through, I'd be sunk. Besides, its all grist for the writing mill.

SHAUNA, glad it gave you a laugh. Considering all the hassles you and Dave went through trying to put your house and life back together, it's a good sign when you can appreciate hurricane humor. I'm glad you've found a safe haven in California, far from any danger of flooding.

LANA, the wait-til-the-last-minute syndrome comes from having lived through many hurricanes--seen them veer

Good laugh, thanks, from an area not likely to have hurricanes (except Hazel).

In case you are wondering, bleach is to disinfect any drinking water.

I'm curious. What would you say are the biggest changes wrought to you and the people in your realm of contact by Katrina. I mean, would you say you are more cynical of government? More appreciative of people around you? Do you think that people are prepared for another hurricane? Have they somehow come together, or have they gone their ways since the event? Just thinking out loud here.

Here's hoping those hurricane supplies stay in the box (or the car trunk) this season.

Thanks for the laugh!

LOL. I had a good time laughing through this one. especially the knife strapped to your leg and the raw chicken for the alligators.

The key issue in all of these points have been said; No one leaves/does anything, or if they do it's last minute. I don't understand the rationale, personally. I've never been stuck in traffic while evacuating (2x now,) primarily because we leave at least a day in advance of landfall. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, really. I'm bewildered by most New Orleanians, I must admit.

I laughed throughout this one, which hadn't come my way yet. Thanks for posting.

Remember when we all were supposed to buy masking tape? When we sold our house, some windows still had masking tape marks from our early years in NOLA.
