It was an experience I'll never forget. Fortunately we only had some minor wind damage to our home, many trees in our yard down, and the backyard fence blown over. We were about 8 miles north of the Coast. It was all easily fixed compared to the devastation so many endured. What the fury of water from a storm surge can do is incredible.

That was a blessing and good to know. Glad the damage was minimal.
No amount of damage is good news, but it can always be worse.

Our state has just experienced the "fury of water" as you mention and the resulting catastrophic damage.

Something one might expect in a coastal state, but hardly in an inland mountainous state. With the weather changes all over our country, I would think nothing is really predictable anymore.......not even the seasons.

English Ivy, yes yes and yes you are correct and your appreciation is notable as they did get it right on Katrina. However, every aspect of news reporting weather, crime celebrity, etc is being so hyped this country is confusing priorities and importance. But judging from the hype you would think every storm is katrina. I laughed to hear weather people hype about an expected three inch snowfall when where my home of orgin 6 inches daily was a dusting.

How important are Kardashians relative to what is occuring in the Middle East?
