Thanks for triggering a flashback to Katrina - I'll never forget the sea of blue tarps covering thousands of roofs in New Orleans. As you drove on I-10 (or whatever the elevated highway is there), that blue was this regular repeating feature of the landscape. It was crazy seeing how bulldozers had shoved the remnants of homes into vacant strip mall parking lots and how the piles of debris were like 30 feet high.

...like it seemingly does with almost every single hurricane. People act like hurricanes sneak up on them with the capriciousness of a tornado. It's like, if you can't afford to drive to a hotel 50 minutes inland,
you can't afford to live on the coast. If you can't coral your pets, throw them in the car, and get out of town within a few hours, you have too many pets. There is a big difference between owning one cat and owning six dogs, and there are tons of people out there with six dogs.
