Storms, storms, and more storms

Wow it is funny to be back in the south and back in the path of things such as tropical storms and hurricanes. We just got hit by a tropical storms last night which has left much of the city without power and a lot of trees down (many of them with cars under them). Praise God that my house did not even lose power. Both my roommates had a window panel blown out but other than that we are ok. I think if I had a panel blown out of my window in the middle of the night, I would need a new pair of sheets, but my roomies are braver than I.

One thing that I love about big storms, besides just the sheer powerful force of them and the fact that God creates that force, is that usually the day after they come, the sky is clear and beautiful as it is today. The storm has brought a little break from the New Orleans heat and even humidity, I was just able to eat Indian food outside and not break a sweat. AMAZING!!!!

Now I hear that we are in the path of Hurricane Dennis (the name of my 4th grade boyfriend ha,ha), but who knows where that guy will be in a few days, I pray somewhere off at sea where it can not hurt anyone.

So it is so funny to live in different areas of the country and experience natural weather extremes. Up north we worried about blizzards and the south we worry about hurricanes. I have just been blessed to live in solid homes where the blizzard and hurricanes have not hurt me.

Well off to see if the coffee shop we were supposed to have a youth group meeting at tonight, has power.
