Hey Guys -- Coming up on an important date for me and R.W.S. -- Back in 2005 I was growing weed across the Pontchartrain from New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina came to call !--R.W.S. was working the night shift and by the time she made it home the roads were gridlocked !-- here would be no running for us !-- We were out side the N.O. bowl so we didn't get the flooding they had in the city but the wind blew the leaves off the trees !-- We were prepared as best we could !-- generator worked for an hour before biting the dust -- had an AC/DC inverter for camping and after another hour it went up in smoke -- all I had left was a tiny old inverter but it help up !-- for 2 weeks I ran a lamp, radio and a small fan off the car batteries !-- Word on the radio was that N.O. had dodged the bullet once again !-- It was almost that long before the men in our subdivision cut our way out towards the main road where we met people cutting their way into us !!- Our "Passover Meal" celebrating surviving is hamburger and pork n' beans cooked on a gas grill !-- I saw the best in people and I saw others turn to the dark side !- ugly thing !-- The only thing missing in my kit was a night vision device !-- there were bad people out at night and it was pitch black !-- The sound of jacking a road into the chamber of a 12 ga. Pump gun will make most people look for a softer target ! Never want to see things like that again ! When we finally saw pictures of what had happened in N.O. We just sat and cried !! Not only had we survived , we had thrived !-- came outthat swamp under our own power with our heads held high !
