As most of you know, there's a hurricane coming our way. It's a strong category 5 hurricane. The max I've seen with this storm was 190mph. It might have went down but it's still a cat 5.
I'm in Houston right now.

New Orleans is totally fucked. We're already below sea level and the landscape is like a bowl.

I hope we have a home to go home to...

Those jacked in the Matrix, do the rang-rang dance for me haha.

The Sheriff of Jefferson Parish reported through WDSU that he expects his district to remain uninhabitable for at least the coming week and that residents should not return to the area. Incidents of looting have been reported throughout affected areas of Louisiana, most notably in New Orleans. Lousiana governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco has ordered all roadways into the state closed, as reported by WDSU TV.

Jefferson Parish

As of 9:35 a.m. on August 30, residents of Jefferson Parish who have ID proving they live in the parish will be allowed to return to their homes to retrieve essentials in about a week, but will then be required to leave the parish for another month. The failed attempt to repair the 17th street Canal levee will likely cause additional flooding in the parish.

Unfortunately, Jefferson is where I stay. I have no idea what I'm going to do for a month or even more. This changes everything. My family is ok. My parents stayed back in town but they're ok. All of my friends are scattered all over the place and some I can't even get in touch with because the phone lines are screwed.

Next week should be alittle better since we get to go back to get our essentials (my computer!) and survey the area. Kinda harsh telling us not to come back for a month but I guess its for the better. School won't start up again for at least another 2 months. Kinda funny when school just started 2 weeks ago.

I only brought 3 pairs of clothes with me =(
