The first time we heard about what would become Hurricane Sally, was early on when it was pretty much just a little rain that we should keep an eye on.
It wasn't long before it was growing and starting to create a path in our general direction. Then it had its cross-hairs directly on top of us. And it was still growing.
Like everyone else along the Louisiana coast, we started to worry. After all, just a few weeks before, Hurricane Laura was dead-set on hitting us, but took a westerly turn at the last minute and destroyed a large area of SW Louisiana. Now Sally was apparently going to take out Southeast Louisiana, including New Orleans.
Then while our preparations were still being made, Sally decided to turn east away from us. By the time she came ashore in Alabama, she was no longer a threat at all to us. But she damaged and destroyed a lot of communities along her new route.
On the map, she missed us only by an inch. And once again, we were spared by what can only be attributed to our good luck.
