Not dead!
So, Katrina /= fun. sabinelagrande and I spent the night on the couches in sonicshadow, senschuh, and simsinnippon's apartment, only to be woken this morning by simsinnippon throwing granola bars at us.
My family is fine, though we have trees down and no power for who knows how long. Apparently my brother Adam, drawing from his vast store of common sense, decided to go stand in the middle of the storm yesterday afternoon to see if it could blow him over, disregarding that the wind was too loud to hear oncoming cars. My extended family seems to be fine, though we haven't heard from those in Laurel, yet. The Moody family (close family friends) in Poplarville are trying to round up their cattle that escaped when the fences got blown down.
I apparently got the best deal on classes, as my 1:00 class was already cancelled due to my professor testifying today. I somehow doubt she drove over from Tupelo even if court got cancelled.
I feel really bad for thinking that it's kinda amusing that the casinos are gone. youll_get_yours and his parents had yet to hear if their house even still exists, last I talked to him.
Here's hoping that everyone is okay, with no major damage. It's going to be a long time before we (meaning the state of Mississippi) get back to normal. I have no doubt that New Orleans will rise again. It may not be there at the moment, but it will return.
