Hurricane Issac

We survived another hurricane in Baton Rouge.  Isaac hit us in August and did some pretty substantial damage to power lines and major flooding in the area.  Our neighborhood, however was a lucky, lonely island of refuge against any major damage.  We never lost power, no flooding, and nothing major fell on us. Some friends came over to escape their dark house after a few days.  We were glad to have some playmates and to feed them something hot. 
This was also the last straw for us in holding out on a generator.  We finally purchased one for peace of mind in all these storms that love us.

Try flying a kite in swirling wind...doesn't work.
