Hurricane Issac

Over the last several days hurricane issac has ravaged much the deep southern parts of Louisiana. For me I find these events particularly heartbreaking since this is not an abstract event I know people that are effected and who could lose so much due to flooding. I have found myself searching all of the news outlets for information that could give me an accurate picture of what is going on. I realized that the weather channel was streaming all of their coverage live on the web. Needless to say I got little accomplished at work that day.

There were a few things that I found particularly amazing about this storm and the residence of Louisiana. I was floored by the everyday people that got in their own boats and pulled people out of their homes in the flood waters. These people should be honored by every single one of us, they are true heroes. Thank you for saving people you didn't even know. The second thing I was particularly proud of is how well the governor presented himself. He always seems calm and ready to tackle whatever is coming. I am a little sorry that I dont live in a state where I can vote for him. I watched his press conference and I loved that he have the information needed and didn't spend time talking about nothing. He told me what I wanted to know and exactly what was happening. Governor bobby you have the Hannah stamp of approval I am proud to say I have lived in your great state.

My family is fine and didn't get too much rain which was good. I was nervous they would flood with this storm. I have been praying for those that are flooded or that will flood, they are going to need so much grace in the face of this disaster.

Looking forward to throwing a hurricane or tropical storm party now that I live in the south. Gotta love a good reason to throw a party!!
