Gustav WHO????

Was August 25, 2005 to be continued...? Was Hurricane Katrina's long awaited rival going to destroy what was left of the desolate Lousisiana coast...? The only thing I was thinking was I have to leave Hattiesburg now. Even though I was thousands of miles away when Katrina had touchdown three years ago I still remember the damage it had done. The one thing I knew for sure was that I didn't want to be around when the approaching enemy made his arrival. I don't know if the news or word of mouth of the tropical storm made me more nervous. I called my mom to make sure she knew what may be on it's way and she became worried. She was so far away that she could only tell me to be safe and tell me the best thing she thought I could do. Then, I called my grandfather who lived just two hours away in Canton. He was already aware of the threat so he immediately told me I should come there this weekend. On the way to Canton I saw more Louisaina license plates than Mississippi(Did i take a wrong turn-inside joke?). I arrived in Canton on Sunday morning and all was. As nite approached the clouds began to darken, the wind began to drift, my thoughts began to raddle and the rain began to fall. I didn't want to think about what may happen in a few hours so i went to sleep. I woke up the next day and turned on the television and didn't see any major headlines and I felt a slight sense of relief. Since it was labor day we barbqued and some of my family got together as usual. The day was almost over and there still weren't any major damages from the anticipated storm. I felt good and was going to feel better when I was able to return to Hattiesburg and continue my college education in peace. It was now Tuesday September 2 and the storm had passed. Gustav wasn't as bad as the world had thought. I was happy that iit didn't eliminate what was left of the coastal cities and cause confussion and more hardship. To me Gustav was just a warning to see if the people were going to be ready for the worse and I think we all were prepared to deal with wahtever was to come but thanks to God nothing too severly happened.
