Deja vu

If there is anything that people in the Gulf Coast community(Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) have in common is that each of us know how to deal with storms. We all know what lines at gas stations look like at our local service stations, we know when its time to stock up on certain items like, bottled water, can goods, batteries, ice chest and most of us ,if can afford it always has a generator for electricity handy just in case the power goes out. We all expect our local grocery stores or hardware store shelves to be empty and we know that this time because of the latest storm people will be prepared or will take the proper precautions before the storm arrives.  Why? Because its just like Deja vu or the same thing that usually happens at this time year, when a tropical storm or hurricane arrives.
In my adult life, I had to deal at least with four hurricanes, Andrew 1992, Katrina and Rita 2005, then after that Gustav 2008. All of them had one thing in common, they were all very destructive and if you didn't heed the warnings from local or state media outlet then you did so at your own risk. The reason why is because I have seen the destruction first hand and know the power that most tropical or hurricanes wield. They are very powerful and have been known to kill or destroy everything in their path. My advice to anyone that reads this, if you happen to live in the effected areas, please heed the warnings from your local ,state, National Weather Service or media outlets. Remember this no material thing or possession is worth more than your life. Do what's necessary to protect your home, your family and if asked to evacuate by all means leave. Don't become the deja vu or the next victim to be reported on the local new station.
