Cindy and Dennis
The main reason I know that no matter how long I live here I'll never be a true Louisianan (is that the right word? I don't even know) is that I'm a weather weenie. Despite my addiction to The Weather Channel -- hey, no one on Earth has better weather -- I'd rather watch it on t.v. than live through it.
Cindy actually wasn't nearly as bad as she could've been. It was mostly a lot of rain and wind, but nothing scary. The main problems were: (1) I didn't sleep well last night, not knowing what I would wake up to this morning, so I'm sleepy now, and (2) we didn't have power this morning before I left for work. I took a shower before I left but I couldn't wash my hair, because if I did I wouldn't be able to dry it with my hair dryer. Needless to say, I've looked better.
After work today we'll be heading home to rake up the branches and leaves that are blanketing our front and back yards. I'm really hoping we can avoid Dennis next week. Two named storms in as many weeks is not much fun.

I think it's "Louisianian."

Cindy did fairly substantial damage for such a mild storm. A lot of workplaces I called today had no phones and/or no power. Many closed early. Not encouraging. Dennis figures to be quite a bit less mild.
