Six years ago right now

My storage shed landed in my neighbor's yard, after going through my back fence.

The power went out too... And didn't come back for over a week.

Just about every casino on the Coast ended up damaged somehow, most beyond repair. There wasn't anything bigger than a brick left of Tullis Manor after the Grand barge landed on it... Or the old Tivoli Hotel after the Lady Luck barge bounced off it.

It feels longer than six years, truth be told.

I found it a bit ironic that Irene came here so close to the anniversary of Katrina...

Of course, the two were nothing alike in my mind, but there were a few triggers worked into the experience.

The worst was trying to sleep through the wind... something about that sound of rain and wind will wake me up every time.
