Its 5:00 p.m. and I’m watching the news in my New Orleans home, the news has a weather interruption about the formation of a hurricane. My first thought is to panic and call everyone I know and try to keep them safe. They are naming the hurricane Katrina, saying it could be a very deadly one to the area around the Gulf of Mexico. I decided I would just tell my mom when she got home. She tells me don’t worry it will miss us completely but I don’t got a good feeling about this. I guess we will just wait and see...

Couple days go by and it’s still building and getting stronger. I’m watching the news again tonight. Hurricane Katrina is striking down on the southern tip of Florida. At this point I’m freaking out just a little bit because it could very well come this way. I don’t want to lose everything I have or possibly lose a friend or family to the massive hurricane.

Hurricane Katrina is reaching a category 3 on the intensity scale. By this time officials were demanding a voluntary evacuation for all the residents in Louisiana. At this time I begin to freak out and am running around the house grabbing up all my personal belongs that I can fit in a pack back. Nobody knows when or even if it will strike down again but I got a bad feeling about this and want to get out of harms way soon.

This could very well be the last time I write in my journal. Hurricane Katrina reached a category 4 on the intensity scale at 12:40 a.m. I cannot sleep at all, way to nervous of what could happen. Its morning now about 7:00 a.m. and I’m scared at what could happen to me will I live another day or day today. It’s an uncomfortable feeling but what else is there to do. I got my personal belongings and I think I am far enough away that I should not be affected by this now category 5 hurricane, I guess only time will tell…
