What's left of Katrina is hitting us
It's very bad out here, the visibility was extremely low about half an hour ago, and it has been pouring non-stop.

1. We're supposed to get some thunderstorms
and possible tornados in my area tomorrow. And the clouds have been building up all day today. I can only be grateful that it won't be a fraction as bad as it was down south.

2. Where are you? Be extremely careful if your area is prone to
flooding.

4. Columbus, Ohio
My greatest concern about me is that I'm also very sick, so every time I go outside I get the feeling that I'm extending the lifespan of my disease by about a week.

11. I'm very sorry for your illness, but are you up high, away from the
possible flooding? If not, have you considered a special needs shelter?

I am remembering other hurricanes where they traveled northward and devasted communities in VA and WVA.

6. I believe that it's supposed to come to where I live in NY tomorrow.
I do welcome it though as we had several weeks without rain.
