Katrina

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Depending on where in Michigan you are, you might get some rain.

It made landfall and is wreaking havoc on Miss and LA. It is expected to turn to the north east bringing torrential rains to the Ohio valley.

Hmm...can't believe I've ignored this until now.....Well...I've heard about the storm, and been praying abotu it all day....all those people still in New Orleans. But we don't need any rain here now, we had a HUGE storm last night, as in, the city flooded in about an hour....then dried up as soon as it stopped.

same here

it made flash floods in one of the communities. One of the ladies from our church had a anurism in her brain explod that morning and they couldn't get her into the hospital because for the flash flood.

BTW, ( this is kinda funny) I get confused when people say LA as in Lousisanna, I think they are saying LA as in Los Angeles. hehehe. I live in CA so I won't be gettin' anything :(.

First, that sometimes confuses me too. Second, I'm literally in the middle of the continent, so I won't be getting anything either.

Peace Out

Here's the very simple Jonathan definition of a strong hurricane:

Tornadic winds and a ton of water spread out over a large area.

those poor people! their homes are half gone or totally gone, the dead are ( not to gross anyone out) floating in the street, and no one can get in or out of that place, and the Dome ( whatever you call it) is starting to get water inside.

*wants to get some helicopters and help out, if only she had the money*

A summary of the damage. Also, I saw what looked like looting on the news, but the TV was muted, so I wasn't sure. Though this confirmed it.

Oooh...Frank learned all about Katrina in her geography class two days ago. It's sounds awful, and I thank the Lord that I'm not in New Orleans right now. :pray:
