Irene

As hurricane Irene bares down on the eastern seaboard all I can think about is the flooding she will cause. Living in New Orleans during Katrina the wind was bad and destructive but it was the water that made it so hard to recover. There was water everywhere. Irene isnt what they would call a major hurricane but she is dumping a record amount of water. I remember Floyd when he sat over land and just wrecked everything he touched. Irene is predicted to hit New York city. there are a lot of folks scoffing at it because it doesnt have a large number attached to it.

The smell of mold is burned into my brain. Law suits over poisoned dry wall and bad contractors and scam artists. Hospitals and doctors offices over burdened with symptoms they have never seen before. People needing medication for shock and stress.

Natural disasters affect more than the land. Run, run as fast as you can and dont come back until everyone says its safe to come back. Save yourselves from the emotional trauma, physical agony and mental anguish of a natural disaster. There is no need to test your ability to survive, not this time.
