I had gone to my aunt's house in Lafayette for the weekend. She had just had her daughter a couple weeks prior. I was planning on driving back for a hurricane party but then I realized how bad it was going to be so I stayed put.
joeysgirl--you were an RA at the time? I betcha five dolla you know my BFF! YGPM
DH and I were in BR at our small 1 bedroom apt. Two of my friends from Slidell and their 2 kids stayed with us. It was a good thing too b/c Slidell was no place for children for a long time. We were without power for a week but the worst part was not being able to reach everyone to make sure they were okay. A lot of our family rode out the storm on the Northshore.
Side note: My Dad always dreamed of living on the water and he was only in his place right off the Ponchatrain for 3 months before the storm hit. Killed that dream for him.
I was living in Fla at the time, so missed it all. It was so strange watching it all go down on the news. I was almost in denial about how bad it was because it was all so unreal.
I was in NYC most of that week. Katrina was on every news station there pretty much all of the time. There is no shortage of crazy news there; it usually sounds like some kind of crazy tv show. I finally realized that if this hurricane was worse than everything they had going on in NYC for a whole week, it must be very serious. That was not a good feeling.
