I've been reading and looking at the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. I've been to New Orleans twice and Mobile once. Both lovely places. I feel so bad for the people there. I wish more people had heeded the warnings to leave. That is something I don't understand, why people stay behind during hurricanes. There is no point to it- you can't stop the wind and water, you are powerless and you end up endangering others who have to come find you as well as make your family and friends frantic. I'm glad I don't have to worry about those sort of things, we don't have many natural disasters here in Tucson.
