Devastation Around The Nation

It is devastating to see all the news about Katrina and the damage it has done. I feel sorry for anyone that lives in any of the areas that Katrina has hit.

I know people can't help where they are raised and live; however, it makes me wonder why people live in the states where there is a chance of a catastrophe (meaning tornado, hurricane, earthquake, tornado)? I'm thankful that I was raised in Chattanooga. Yes, we may have tornados; however, not like Kansas. Luckily, I live on a hill, and don't have to worry about flooding either.

My mom is from Hawaii and even though it is Beautiful there, I don't think I would want to live there. Volcanos, small chance of a Tsunami if a big enough earthquake hit California.

My boyfriend, Shane, is a big strong guy; however, when all the news broke out about Katrina and how big it was going to be and it was headed our way, he kind of got worried. Acts of God is the one thing I DON'T worry about. You can't prevent them from happening. You just have to have faith that God will keep you safe from harm.

When Shane said he didn't sleep last night because he was worried about tornado and the store, I was really shocked.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families that lost loved ones, friends, their homes and/or businesses.

PS: I really don't understand how in a time of despair, Gas prices have to keep on rising???
