Katrina: Day Two (Monday)

Early Monday morning the Katrina came aground. We woke to a nice breakfast made my Shirley. She outdid herself with fixing food for us. They had not interent connection, so no computer. They had direct tv so we were able to get one of the news station and try and see what was going on back home.

The first news we heard was that Katrina had changed course from where everyone expected it to go and was heading a little more east. Which was good news for New Orleans, but bad news for Biloxi and the Gulf coast. The weather was so bad that most news could not even transmit from the area. When it started coming in there were few scenes and they repeated them over and over. The stoplight falling and being blown down the street was a common one, I must have watched it a couple dozen times.

Pretty much of the day was spent around the television, trying to stay as informed as possible. But it was hard, there wasn't a lot coming from the news. It was hard for them to get in there.

None of the phones were working down there. I kept trying my cell phone, no signal. Sprint was down.

The night the weather was changing, the hurricane was moving farther inland. It started raining and the wind really picked up. Sometime after we all went to bed we lost power.
