As we all were all talking, I thought multiple times about what was coming and what the street would look like 48 hours later. I found it weird that it was so nice out just before a hurricane which would make me stay inside and lose power for a day. With hindsight, I would've stayed out there longer. This was probably my favorite part of the hurricane.

Hurricane Issac
Tuesday evening, while the wind was blowing around my house, my family and neighbors were sitting outside on the driveway and talking about different topics. The guys were talking about sports and the women were talking about kids and family and other things that I didn't listen to. It was such a relaxed atmosphere because the wind was mostly calm and everyone was laughing. Time must've flown with the wind because when we finally went back into our house, it had been 2 and a half hours.

I can picture the feeling you are after here, but I think more concrete details would do more to make this a vivid scene. How many people were there? Where were they standing? What was their body language like? How were they dressed? What did they actually say? What kinds of voices or facial expressions did they use? What did the sky look like? What did the breeze feel like? See what I mean?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog. There is a lot of irony involved. It is sort of weird that it's so calm right before a massive hurricane. I really enjoy when my family and friends just sit around and talk about what's going on in their life at the moment. The feeling of when everyone's together is very joyous.
