Hurricane, again?!

Could it really be possible that another hurricane could hit the Florida panhandle?? Not even a year after Ivan's devastation, Katrina is gaining strength and looks to be headed that way. Our poor condo hasn't even rebuilt yet from Ivan (the building had survived but the interior has had to be completely reconstructed). I know I really shouldn't be selfish here, because the condo our family owns is just a vacation and rental property, and there are so many people in Florida who have lost so much more over the last year with the terrible hurricanes. But regardless, I am being selfish. Enough is enough. The contractors are working hard to rebuild our condo, and we've finally made the decision to sell it, and another hurricane really won't help the construction process or the chance of it being sold. We can only hope that Katrina weakens before making landfall on Monday.

On a related note, don't you hate it when a bad hurricane has a good name? It sort of ruins that name forever. Ivan was OK because I don't know anyone named Ivan and you can easily say "Ivan the Terrible" or something. But why Katrina? I have wonderful memories of our old chocolate lab named Katy, which was short for Katrina von Schloss Solitude. That was her official AKC name. We got her when I was in 8th grade and she died in 1994 when I was living in Washington. Please don't name a hurricane after her!
