How it survived the hurricane, I mean.
Saw a bit of it on the news last night but haven't seen anything today yet.
Anyone know anything???

Hi Alex it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. Turned out to be a category 3 I believe. Winds maybe up to l00miles an hour. They showed pictures on the news and everything was pretty much okay. Signs blown down, raining, and electricity out. But thankfully it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. Fondly, Phillipa

Of course I'm too far away to actually be affected, but the rest is just how Phillipa described.

More than 2 million tried to evacuate. It swamped the highways and the gas stations. Gridlock lasted for hours - a trip that should have taken no more than an hour was taking 9 hours on up to more than 20. Cars were running out of gas on the road. People were hot - air conditioners were turned off to save gas and it was 100 degrees outside.
But - story after story after story emerged about people taking water and ice to the folks that were stuck. Lots of people took full gas cans to them. Others took people home with them.
Volunteers had turned out by the droves and welcomed over a hundred thousand Katrina evacuees. When our own needed help just as many - or more - also turned out.
It may not be the prettiest city in the US, but it's beautiful to me.
