Having lived through Katrina, I found this story very relatable. I enjoyed the "oddities" that really do occur during storms. When I am able to get a visual from what I read, I know the author has crafted their words perfectly. Nicely done.
Yeah, I was 13 living on the Northshore when Katrina hit and I kinda have to deal with hurricane trauma in some artistic way at least once a year. Plus Ida has been at the back of my mind since it hit last year, on the bloody anniversary of all dates.
