Today is the 6 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. And while my story is way less dramatic than some, partts of it are still way too personal to get into yet. Let's just say that I did not lose anyone, my house is intact, FEMA and Farmers Insurance did what they were supposed to for me, and anyhting beyond that is cake.
Some of the things I did learn:
1. If you pull the string out past the first part of resistance, even a girl can start a huge generator. (Thanks, Dego!)
2. Beer pays electric workers.
3. Park your car on your neighbors property. Park theirs on yours, homeowners insurance does not cover yours, but will cover someone elses if a tree falls on it.
**Not responsible for results for legal advice** LOL
4. Car alarms get really annoying after approx 3 hours. 2 hours, ok.
5. MRE hamburgers are the worst. The dog won't eat them.
6. Pull over to cry. Don't do both when there are trees in the road.
7. When hanging your undies on the fence to dry, check for squirrels FIRST.
8. Shampoo smells awesome when you don't have any for a few days, so don't be surprised when people are following you around sniffing you. (right Lynn?)
9. Some days, you just have to cry, and then move on. That's ok.
10. The limit for how long the motorcycle can stay in the kitchen is 30 days. I made this one up.
These rules are flexible for any natural disaster, and can be modified as needed. Hoping our neighbors on the east coast are well.:)
