It was crazy - we didn't even know a storm was coming until last night and even then it was just supposed to be a tropicl storm. It was the fastest storm on record going from a tropical depression to a hurricane. At 4am the trees were bending to the ground and rain was dropping in sheets sideways.
There's still hundreds of roofs with blue tarps from hurricane rita 2 years ago - you just couldn't get people to even bid on your roof because thousands of homes needed them. People's FEMA trailer turned over from the wind.
