non-Hindi Hurricanes

Gurricanes? We evacuated to Meridian, Miss for six days to celebrate Hurricane Gustav. Returned last Friday, 05 Sept. Meridian was friendly to all the refugees and the trailer court we stayed at, Bonita Lakes RV Park put on crews to wire a bunch of extra plug-ins for all us extras to use. They parked in driveways, in between existing spaces, by bath houses.

So, I'd like to thank them for their hospitality.

Now we have Hurricane Ike hundreds of miles away from New Orleans, heading to Galveston and the water is rising here. It looks like half of the Gulf of Mexico is being affected by this huge storm. The satellite pictures show it is almost as big as Texas itself.

Galveston was destroyed in 190(?) by a hurricane. They raised up the entire city afterwards. Then it was the major port. Now Houston has taken that role away with the dredging of the sloughs. Will they raise it up again? New Orleans needs to be raised. Or have all the houses raised.
