I personally sat through 28 hours of the worst traffic jam in the world to get out of hear and another 12 to get back 2 days later, over 1/2 of the company I work for has been destroyed, the people who were hit in Katrina relocated to the Cameron, Louisiana area and then got nailed there during Rita, its a sad situation and in the business I'm in I hear tragic stories everyday, I get home and can't watch T.V. because its painful, I've been to the areas that have been torn apart by these natural disasters, I've had to listen to the search and rescue teams describe what they've seen, it makes me sad but at the same time extremely angry, I honestly don't know how to feel, since this all happened. I hate not taking a stand, but it extremely hard when you see many people taking advantage of the help thats been given yet you know that there are those out there who definately need it, I know the worst part for me was sitting in my car after being on the road 16 hours and barely moving 50 miles with 1/4 tank of gas and the radio stations saying that the National Guard was coming with gas and water and then NEVER showing up, then thinking that the majority of the bodies found after Katrina were those that got stuck in their cars on the freeway and had nowhere to go. THe images that went through my head and the thought of dying in my car with my family, was probably the scariest thing I 've ever had to deal with. The fear of the unknown. Now that I'm back, how should I feel? Should I pissed off that we were lied to, and that I was so miserable for that 44 hours to leave and get back, or just be grateful that I still have my life and my children. I am emotionally exhausted so I try to stay grateful, because right now it takes way too much effort to stay angry.

I don't really know what I'm trying to say, but I haven't really had a chance to get it out and I ran across your profile and read your comment and decided this may be a good way to get it all out. Sorry, but I tend to ramble on..and on and very rarely make a point.I do have to say that I feel the same way about Hurricanes......Fuck Em!!!!!

yeah they suck!
