Sometime during your life everyone will have a moment that will change their life. Some of you know what I'm talking about. It could be the birth of a child, an accident, marriage, death in the family, a natural diaster, etc. In my case I have 2 moments like that and now I can add a 3rd one.
Some of you know where I work and live since I do business with some of you and I concider some of you as friends. My home is located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, 50 miles from New Orleans, La and 25 miles from Gulfport, MS and a couple of miles from the coast and the towns of Waveland and Bay St. Louis. I work at Stennis Space Center, where booster engines get tested, and the Naval Oceanographic Office is located which is where I work as an oceanographer/marine biologist. As of this moment I do not know if I have a home or a place of work left since the eye passed over both locations. No information is coming out so I have no idea whats going on. To be honest, I don't expected to have a house left standing.
A moment like this makes you think of what is important in life. Luckily I can say that I was able to leave the area and my family and a few people I know are safe. I was lucky also to have a good friend in Florida that is letting me stay with him. I am lucky in this regard but then there are so many that are not. Just take a moment to wish everyone luck or a prayer. Thank you.
