It was too close for comfort for me. I made it though with minor damage, but I feel for the people just to the West of me. I used to live on the MS Gulf Coast. I have many friends there I have yet to hear from. Devastating!

Nope...windows down all the time.

I did get pissed when I finally got to the pump and the pick-up in front of me had about 5 gas cans getting filled up. then I noticed the guy had jackson mississippi plates and my attitude changed. poor sob was just trying to get back home.

Reading this I am taken back to 1974, when 1 = the infamous `74 floods swamped my town and the capital of my state, my school had water 6 inches up the black board on the second storey. We had to que up for stuff.. 2 = a tropical cyclone called `Tracy` came in off the timor sea and flattened the capital city of the northern terrrtory Darwin. They had to fully evacuate the city for several months after. In my town, we thought it was cool, it was the end of year holidays so they got extended a few weeks. My point is, everyone pulled together, there was many instances of complete strangers helping people out, even saving lives and then never knowing the person they had helped or saved. There must be stories like that coming from this, but the doesnt seem to be too many... Pretty sad reflection on the times really.
