There is a great documentary on TV atm..WW2 The Apocalypse. First episode covered those events.. And (obviously) it just went downhill from there. Part 2 is on Saturday. :) It's actually called Apocalypse: The Second World War..very good.. When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth. Repent! The End Is Extremely F***ing Nigh. |

What happened in NO was the levees broke the day after due to the huge storm surge that filled all of the tertiary waterways. The eye came in over the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I live in Gulfport. It was life changing. I will never forget the smell. Quoting: LariAnnYes, there is a smell that I will never forget as well. Sometimes, when there is a bad storm here, I'll remember a whiff of it, whether or not it is a real smell or just a memory, it is there just the same. It is not something you can get out of your head. Also, I notice that when the winds are blowing hard in a strong nighttime thunderstorm, I cannot sleep as I am too nervous . . . Yeah, the smell. I will never forget it. I have dreamed the smell. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |

We took a drive into Punta Gorda where the eye passed over, and it was pretty much obliterated. I remember I was taking pictures of all the damage, flattened homes, flipped cars, etc. Then we drove by this old woman in her front yard, her house had been completely destroyed, and she was just staring at the rubble... Then she saw me with the camera and gave me the most evil look I've ever gotten, can't blame her at all for that. So thankfully I wasn't at the center of the storm but it was still a shock to see... Gas stations running out of fuel, people fighting over generators at hardware stores, National Guard curfew imposed at night, people lining up for fresh water... crazy stuff. |
