From NOLA....this is the 16th anniversary Katrina!
Katrina was also a category 5.
Good friend is riding it out at her sons home north of NOLA. Said it’s scary af! Her house in New Orleans was almost destroyed from Katrina and they spent a year rebuilding while living with her son. There are still boxes she can’t quite bring herself to open.
She works at Tulane and basically has the position of finding beds for the unvaccinated covid crowd. She has more concern for the patients left at the hospital after the end of her 14 hour shift Friday than she does for herself at this point in time.
Prayers and good vibes sent to those in the path of this storm…..
