Cool Picture

This is a photo from NOAA of Hurricane Katrina: Interesting shot... it really shows how huge it was.
 
We were touched by Katrina with some high winds and heavy rains but nothing like what happened to the southern U.S.A. It ripped a tarp off our boat which I am trying to repair and knocked our dining tent all over the backyard, but it was pretty minor. Our driveway is halfway under water, but our house still has a roof and 4 walls.
 
Our best wishes to those in the affected areas. I'm filled with sadness every time I see news reports about it. There are some people on an email list I am on about Chrysler boats who live down there. One has probably lost his sailboat for sure. Some others, we have not even heard from. I hope they're ok.
