Isaac Ain’t Katrina, Part II

By four o’clock on Monday, the sky had become overcast and a breeze had started to blow. Not a wind yet, just a breeze, but with the occasional gust hinting that things were probably going to get more “interesting.” Isaac is still just a tropical storm though, since the National Hurricane Center has the wind speed at four o’clock at 70 mph. Seventy-four is the minimum for calling it a Category 1 hurricane. My neighbors spent an hour or so earlier in the afternoon, nailing sheets of plywood over windows. I rent, so that probably won’t happen at my house. However, I did go out and gather up all the stuff that sits around on the ground, and moved it up onto my back porch where it is less likely to be blown into the next parish.
