Hurricane Isaac... As of this journal entry, Isaac has been downgraded to tropical storm status a few hours ago. But with winds still gusting up to 70 mph, the tempest is still pounding Louisiana and other Gulf Coast States today...which marks the 7-year anniversary since Hurricane Katrina made landfall and wrought significant havoc in the southeast United States. As this photo of Isaac shows, Mother Nature is obviously not to be trifled with. Fortunately, based on online news reports (I'm well aware of the fallacy of that wording) it seems like folks living along the Gulf of Mexico will not experience the kind of devastation that was seen in 2005...thanks to lessons learned by the federal government and cities such as New Orleans from that year. Definitely a good thing.
