TheBanyanTree: Katrina

[NancyIee at aol.com]

The hurricane is passing hundreds of miles to our west, yet yesterday was 
dark and squally. It's second nature in Florida to track every tropical 
depression as it slips off the African coast. Usually they melt into scattered clouds 
far out in the ocean. Sometimes they gain strength and become named storms. The 
media does a good job of keeping people abreast, even if it seems too 
melodramatic at times: it does gain watchership.

Katarina chugs on.  I pray for those in New Orleans, for I have lived through 
four hurricanes (2004) and it's scary business. This will be a bad one.
