Topic: Natural Disasters

In our first month in New Orleans, a thunderstorm dumped eight inches of rain on us in a period of just a few hours. We had no idea how quickly this city can flood until we were told by our military friends and locals. Were it not for them, I would not even have known to move my car to higher ground. I am so very thankful for that tip – it literally saved my car! That same week, we found ourselves in the path of Tropical Storm Barry, which could have been a Category 1 hurricane. As military families, we move all over the world, and we need to be prepared should disaster strike.
