Most of our damage was from downed trees due to high winds. My parents lost some of their roof and all of their 100 year old cedars.<BR/><BR/>What's funny about those people saying it's crazy to live below sea level is that a lot of them live along fault lines and in areas hit by blizzards. Who's crazy? At least you can see a hurricane coming.Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111036439004167503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557970.post-1136353615518433822006-01-03T23:46:00.000-06:002006-01-03T23:46:00.000-06:00Some of the worst damage here in southeast Texas f...Some of the worst damage here in southeast Texas from Hurricane Rita was 100 miles inland in the Sam Rayburn lake area, also from trees and wind.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321713951006827527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557970.post-1136349439026003512006-01-03T22:37:00.000-06:002006-01-03T22:37:00.000-06:00The fact is American society has wandered well awa...The fact is American society has wandered well away from living in the natural world. There have always been and will always be hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, etc. Other,perhaps more primitive, cultures still recognize we have no control over nature and must learn to live with whatever she doles out. (See story of Moken people surviving the Tsunami on CBSnews.com - 60 Minutes) We cannot & should not run & hide from nature. Long live New Orleans!TravelingMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616443915730559621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19557970.post-1136312428334937332006-01-03T12:20:00.000-06:002006-01-03T12:20:00.000-06:00Here in Atlanta we have trees that smash into hous...Here in Atlanta we have trees that smash into houses and the occasional car when a bad storm passes through. Now and again, it kills someone. We could cut them all down, or not have built this damn city on this plateau just south of the mountains, where we get so many thunderstorms. And, now that I think of it, isn't there a fault line that runs through norhthern Alabama? My most recent posting on my blog is about this issue. It makes me very, very angry when I hear some fool suggest that we should abandon NOLA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
