katrina.

hmm. It was a major blow. We were given holidays on monday and tuesday at our univ. The power was gone from monday evening till noon of tuesday. On monday night I enjoyed the strong winds in the rain with my pal. We did feel tht the winds were indeed quite strong. But we had realized the havoc brought abt by Ms.Katrina only on tuesday afternoon when we could switch on tv. New Orleans was under water as it was below the sea level and the city was just flooded. And the brunt of the hurricane was beared by the coastal cities of Mississippi(Biloxi, Gulfport). I got a few calls frm near n dear abt my safety as Mississippi was in headlines of not only US news but also on international. Yest I heard tht the price of gas has gone up considerably due to the hurricane, I was happy tht I dint buy a car which was hindering back in my mind for a few days now. But with this hurricane, I dropped the whole Idea of buying the car...who wants to take the extra burden of gas.
I donated some amt to red cross as I couldnt just sit and do nothing for the havoc and destruction brought abt by the katrina.
Now the days are coming to normalcy. But Nature has its own hard ways to release its fury.
