Katrina


We are currently waiting for hurricane Katrina to come our way. As of right now we’re not totally sure what to expect but the storm will likely die down some as it moves further inland. Even under these circumstances, with so much going on south of us, the cooler wet weather is a great change. The last few weeks of heat have even the locals complaining of a hot summer.
Two nights ago we had a large group from New Orleans stop in and stay. They used 2 of our buildings to house their people before heading further north to Arkansas. Hotels in Jackson have been full all weekend, as people have fled from the south Mississippi coast and New Orleans.
All schools have been canceled in Jackson today so Emily will get the day off.

Hope you're doing OK. I've been watching the news all day and wondering how/what you're doing in Jackson. I guess this adds another 100 reasons to live in the NW! It's only about 66 today with some sprinkling--about the first we've gotten in weeks. We're all waiting for you to move home. Dad and I once went camping near Paris, Indiana and a tornado passed through about 7 miles away. The wind was incedible, blowing down the tent, raining hard and devistating our camp spot. We left and brought everything soaking wet back to Indianapolis. I can't imagine what you're experiencing. Be careful! We love you and are praying for your and everyone else's safety. Hope to hear from you soon.
