Hurricane Isaac decides to make itself known - considering the history of the area I was concerned. Before accepting the contract I was sure to investigate this whole hurricane/weather situation, but I was wrong. Thankfully I had a few days to prepare in the event of the storm really coming down the line.
What I discovered is that my city is a lot like my home - far enough inland that it is usually the evacuation destination. Forecasts were coming in about 5 days before landing. I did the usual prep - buying some non-perishable food items and bottled water, prayed and prayed more.
My family and friends were highly excited by the prospect of me being caught in the hurricane especially by myself, so I decided to start a hurricane update - periodically I would send a mass text message to everyone reporting the progress and projection of the storm. This method seemed to calm their concerns and nerves.
Thankfully the storm moved exactly as expected. Many residents of the low lying areas were evacuated to my city and I think we only experienced a little rain. So Thankful!!!
