Waiting for disaster

Most disasters or tragedies, whether caused by nature or man, are sprung upon us with little or no warning. This waiting and watching for days as one of the most powerful hurricanes ever creeps toward shore, where it will cause an unbelievable amount of destruction, is a very strange experience. For me, it certainly makes focusing on anything else extremely difficult.

Here is a picture that was emailed to me of what Katrina looked like as it came ashore in Mississippi.
