Well here I am again – just about the same time, same place only it’s five years later. I got an intuitive hit a little before midnight on August 28, 2009 that I should document this storm. As a native Louisianan – up to that point I had been through multiple major hurricanes including Betsy, Hilda, Camille, and Andrew but somehow I knew that Kat was going to be different. And indeed it was. I wasn’t going to blog the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina – but just as it was on that night five years ago – at the last hour I have decided to commemorate Katrina’s Fifth Anny with a blogging marathon – I think I am going to blog around the clock – until midnight tonight.
This is not the original blog – I moved over to Word Press right in time for the oil spill and Terry, my web programmer still hasn’t got the pix moved over. He’s been busy and I got busy with oil spill and we’re in the oil and gas business – yes almost everybody here is – and times have been hard. So I have been more focused on keeping my business going. It was hard rocking because of the economy but the oil spill just ramped it up even bigger. Anyway all the old posts have been moved over here – but do check out the original blog with all pictures intact HERE.
