So Hurricane Katrina has come and gone. Everyone is complaining because the water is a little too high now. High winds and a lot of rain make for one bad weekend.

I sat on my patio through most of the storm remembering back to 1992 when Hurricane Andrew blew away most of my neighborhood and thinking to myself that Katrina was just a light breeze compared to Andrew.

We were without power for about 6 hours. The hurricane noob across the way pulled out his generator and kept the whole complex awake for most of the night. He even went to sleep with it running. What a moron!

Anyway, everything is fine here now. Cleanup is in progress. People getting back to normal operations.

My condolences go out to everyone effected by this hurricane.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
