Wind

Tonight I sat down in front of my computer and decided to write a blog just cause I was in the mood for one. So I read a few of my RSS Feeds and I will have to say that the one that drew me in the most would have to be the one titled "NOLA mayor: If Ike comes, weary residents unlikely to flee." The basic idea of the article is about Hurricane Ike and how it is still uncertain where it is heading, and if it does come to New Orleans the mayor believes that some residents will be resistant to flee from their homes. I understand the fact that all of these residents had to suffer once before from Hurricane Katrina, but I DON'T think anyone should risk their lives and just stay home if Ike does decide to move further north.
As of right now it is to my knowledge that the Hurricane is "20 miles southeast of Playa Giron on the south coast of Cuba and 140 miles southeast of Havana" as I read int he new article. It is still to soon to tell where Ike might hit the US Gulf. Ike has already hit Haiti and killed some 300+ people due to heavy winds and flooding. Before hitting Cuba, around 900,000 people left their homes. this is just some of the damages that Ike has caused.
It is difficult to even think about how it must be to experience and Hurricane if you never had, and I can only image how much fear some people might have. I know Some people are in fear of death, some are even in fear of leaving their homes. For all the places Ike has hit, and places the Hurricane may hit, the people living in these areas already didn't have much money to begin with.
I thought it very smart that authorities evacuated the Florida Keys over this last weekend. Since the Florida Keys are one of the lowest points in the United States I thought the authorities made a smart move.
I feel very sorry for these people having to stress the fact of the Hurricane, and also say a prayer in the memory of those lost already by the Hurricane. Many people may not even be aware of what is going on, just becuase it hasn't hit New Orleans or any other part of the US, people should still have some knowledge that the Hurricane may hit. If it does (which I hope it doesn't, and just stops) I hope everyone who is living in the area is safe.
If you are interested in reading the article I read please visit: NOLA mayor: If Ike comes, weary residents unlikely to flee

Update: So even I leaned something new, I was aware that there were bad storms going on recently ,but i wasn't even aware of Hurricane Gustav.

Thanks 4 reading what I have to say.
