Tim Barrus: My House Was Blue

My house was destroyed when Hurricane Georges screamed through. We hid in the bathrub. We tied ourselves together. The roof came off. Rubble. I have survived 15 Hurricanes. I do not know why. The worst part of any hurricane is the sun coming out as a high pressure system pushing the hurricane north. It was 105 degrees. All the lizards and the wild animals would scream all night. Every night. Because their habitat has been destroyed. I am usually with the animals. When the hurricane comes, will you lose your house. Yes.
