Katrina visits BG

We had torrential rains last night which interrupted my visit to the Internet cafe. Hence I didn't blog last night. I have a short clip of the waterfall in my street and will try to find a way to post it on here. There was at least a foot of water coming down the street and I had NO idea until my landlord knocked on my door and asked me if everything was alright. You see my place is a half basement apartment, meaning from the front of the house I must walk down stairs to get to my door, but from the back its a walkout to the garden.

I assured him all was well, and wondered why he was asking. He told me to follow him, and as he opened the front door I saw that the water was level with the first step. I ran in and got my camera.

Needless to say Oscar didn't get much of a walk last night, so we spent the evening running around the apartment and playing inside. I also bought a piece of beef for dinner and made a delicious stir fry (I love cooking with gas) and he got the bone. It was his lucky night!

This morning, I saw that the water has washed all the construction material down the street. Stones and tiles everywhere. I can just imagine what Louisiana is going through. Of course I am getting blamed for all this. Yes indeed, Katrin has hit BG!
