Katrina Disses Upper Cumberland
While the residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, and other hurricane slogged areas survey the damage left by the storm, Middle Tennesseans feel gyped once again by failure of a major storm to produce anticipated results. In spite of warnings of dangerous flooding and winds violent enough to turn our garbage cans into flying missles, many residents set off for work today, hoping for interruptions in electrical service. The disheartening effect of the paltry rain and winds barely brisk enough to turn long, unrestrained hair into "cousin it" impersonations while pumping gas was only offset by the glee of many school-aged children. School administrators in several counties prematurely cancelled school, expecting a natural disaster. A careful study of radar maps shows the majority of the storm passed to the west of us as it moved further inland.
