Thank y'all for your concern, but I'm not in the track of the storm. Wrote this from the viewpoint of those who are.

Tropical Storm Gustav is expected to strengthen into a Cat 3 storm before it strikes the Gulf Coast region. Will things be different this time?

Poem Artwork

... Three days before the memories come
rushing back at Cat 4 strength, more ill
winds heading this way from the Gulf of

Mexico.  Gustav's eye has us dead in his
sights.  Things could change, but do we
stay or wait until the lessons from last time

are forgotten?  Don't know about you, but
seem to remember this from before:  I'm
gone.  Hope to see you when I get back ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (8/27)

It is frightening to think another Katrina can happen,and by the reports it sounds bad, so if I were in the path of that storm,I'd be gone too! Excellent heartfelt writing Karla!...ET

Nice writing Karla, very expressive and could feel the intensity from within your words. Now all we can do is wait and see if any lessons were learned from the last great storm....

Be always safe,

Haiti was in its path...14 people dead. My heart cries for those who have so little, and no where to go to hide from the storm.

Karla, in just a few words you've captured the Cat 4 horror that
demands you get the hell out of there. Glad you made that decision.
We'll be here (I hope) when you get back. -gene.

If i were in that area and they were expecting a storm, well, as a logically thinking adult, I would get the hell out and go visit home, in Ohio...but whoever said I was logical, as I would have to stay and watch the fun...you just stay safe wherever or whatever you do...Peace, Ed & Rufuz

You put us in the shoes of those living along the Gulf Coast region, especially Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. God be with those poor people who will be reliving a nightmare if the necessary precautions/lessons aren't taken/heeded! Very well penned and imaged; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
