Florida panhandle gets spared. With hurricane Katrina bearing down on New Orleans, we who live in the Florida panhandle are breathing a sigh of relief. We're now happy to get rain and 70 mph winds after going through both Ivan and Dennis in the last 11 months.
It is not going to be a pretty sight in New Orleans very soon. Flooded, washed out, washed in, graveyard remains and caskets in the water along with toxic wastes of all sorts. I'm praying for those holed up in the shelters and the Superdome.
The feeling in Pensacola is that of relief, in as much as a 10-foot storm surge and hurricane category 1 type winds is considered a relief. The Pensacola Civic Center and other places in the area have opened up to shelter evacuees from the hurricane. If you can get to Pensacola you'll have a place to stay.
