As for some areas of New Orleans the levee’s have not been rebuilt, other area’s the levee situation is in inadequate was a remark made by the Corp of Engineer’s yesterday on a live news report that is constantly being splashed across New Orleans air ways, along with the strong possibility of mandatory evacuation of all resident’s with the hope of no loss of life this time; as was the estimated death toll of over 18,000, during Hurricane Katrina.

Nevertheless, as some resident’s have already left and today is the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting landfall; as for Gustav it is still a wait and see if this hurricane will hit, what the damage will be if any or how many lives maybe lost this time around.

It is a hope that Gustav not come to New Orleans this time around and for those that do evacuate it is more of a small vacation, than another time of broken memories and shedding tears for lost loved ones.

As for the levee repairs that have been done, it is some opinion’s; that it is a more of a cross one’s finger’s for luck and hope these hold idea.

As to the many people concerned towards my welfare with the impeding disaster of Gustav, please do not worry; Allah protected us through Hurricane Katrina and I am sure Allah will do the same this time.

Something else that happened to came to mind and I have said this for years, a person can never have too few adventures in life or life get’s a bit dull, for they can be anything and I say this with a smile. For what may seem for some people a bad situation, doesn’t necessarily have to be so.
