Hurricane Katrina

A few years ago, I did some work for a major pharmaceutical company in Miami Lakes, Fl. So, this morning, I checked out the area on the web to see if Katrina had hit my old friends. This is what I found:

"I didn't think it would be this serious," said North Miami Beach resident Larry Hall, who used the lull of Katrina's eye around 8 p.m. to run to Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken in Miami Gardens in search of the dinner a power outage had denied his family. "I thought it was supposed to be a brush. When it started knocking down trees in the yard, we decided we had to find some food."

Now, my reaction would have been a little different. Instead of "find some food", I would have said, "get the heck outta Dodge!"

What will they do when it tears the roof off their house? Fill the dog's water
bowl?!
