What was your hurricane Katrina/Rita experience like? R u ready 4 this hurricane season?

Answer 1

hurricane rita hit us directly. our small town did not provide for special needs evacuation & we rode out the storm at home with 2 elderly women. 2 trees hit the house ( large, custom built , brick built to last) and lifted the house from foundation more than once. we had 20 trees down in the yard, 6 trees totally blocking the driveway. we called the Hardin County Sheriff's dept for help and were told we were on our own. we cut enough of a path to get out (but scratched the fool out of the paint job) but could not leave for 3 days. a cousin came from houston with food and water and took the old ladies back with them. we then were able to go north to other family. it was 2 weeks before our power was restored and we were lucky to get it then. some didn't have power for 6 weeks. we personally are ready but many others still have damged houses and i know of one family who lives in a tent now.
