I'm praying this morning for Texas (and Louisiana) since a true monster, Hurricane Rita, is headed there. A Category 5! This photo was taken from my balcony this morning showing the pounding waves coming into our shore and the wall of sand all up and down our beach to maybe help keep the water from coming closer to homes. Photos can't really show the force of the waves and the height of the sand, but both are pretty awesome. It's kinda nice in the weirdest way to see how very powerful the force of nature is! We're so far away from the actual Hurricane, yet we still get damage. In the last year, we've been hit hard here locally by Hurricane Ivan aka Ivan The Terrible (we've still not recovered from that bad boy) and Hurricane Dennis aka Dennis The Menace (another bad boy, but a bit gentler to us than Ivan). Hurricane Katrina, which devasted New Orleans and so many gulf coast towns didn't hurt us too bad, but still messed up our beaches and gave us heart attacks with worry. Tropical storms (Arlene and others I can't remember their names) have hurt us too. So many people want to move, including "G", and I know in my heart that he's right, but oh do I love living here in "Paradise"! I pray Hurricane Rita will decrease in size and no deaths will occur. God please be with all those people now and in the many months ahead as they try to rebuild!
