Hurricane Katrina

[dreamflower]

In just a few minutes, my DH is going to pick up Marigold's mother.

I expect us to lose power/cable sometime early this afternoon, but I will make regular posts until we lose it altogether. If we are lucky, maybe it won't go out until tonight. Keeping fingers, toes and everything else crossed.

Katrina is Category 5, which is just as strong as Ivan, and headed straight for the LA-MS state line, which puts us to the east--the bad side of the storm. >8-[ I have a bad feeling this one is going to really get us this time: no last minute swerving.

In case anyone cares, here's the URL for Harrison County Civil Defense: http://co.harrison.ms.us/

Anyway, I need to go switch over the laundry while the power is still on, and finish getting the sewing room ready to flood.

Y'all stay safe! Keep us updated as much as you can. This storm looks scarier every time I see something about it on the weather channel.

Please take care of yourselves. I am still hoping for that last minute swerve or maybe Katrina will just lose steam and die out? Fingers crossed for you all!
