he night of katrina me and my mother stayed at our house in metairie. Thinking it would not be as bad as it was we stayed and got stuck till 3 days after when we were able to leave. Being only 14 years old it taught me a great lesson to not mess with mother nature and just be safe and evacuate when a storm is coming. I would never stay to ride out a storm again.
