Hurricane Katrina

So it’s all like I’m gonna put the Sodom & Gomorrah to New Orleans, and then no, maybe I’ll angle off to the east and just flood it a little instead, so even though you got wet, you skated this time, Big Easy.

Whew!

These damn hurricanes keep threatening apocalyptic disaster and then delivering normal day-to-day disaster. But never let your guard down. Remember all those horror movies? Girl approaches closet door – it’s dark, of course – scary music, getting louder – she opens the door – A CAT LEAPS OUT AIEEEEEEEEEE! Ten seconds later, after the scary music stops and you settle back in your seat, some slobbering monster appears out of nowhere and casually rips her head off with his claw.

One of these days a hurricane really will do in New Orleans, but not now, and for that we’re thankful.

Update (8/30/05): Okay, maybe not Sodom & Gomorrah, but at least Sodom. It’s pretty very very bad, and not just for New Orleans. I hope FEMA’s up to the job. I hope the death toll doesn’t go any higher. I hope the surviving victims of Hurricane Katrina get all the help they need. And I promise to take hurricanes more seriously from now on!

Update (8/31/05): It’s getting worse and worse. I’m stunned by what I’m hearing on the radio and reading in the news. Please do help (Red Cross donation link above).
