“I did not prepare for this Hurricane. Hurricane Katrina is the
worst hurricane I have experienced. I’m from New Orleans and
my family and I had to stay up here in Baton Rouge for three
weeks until it was safe to return. By the time hurricanes have hit
Baton Rouge this season, it’s usually just been a lot of rain. Zeta
looks the least threatening of all the storms so far. I’m not too
worried about this storm, so I didn’t take many precautions. My
grandmother does have a generator, so I can go there if I lose
power at my apartment. However, I did do one thing personally
to prepare for this hurricane. I brought with me my trusty rain
jacket. I bought this rain jacket last year at the Bass Pro Shops in
Denham Springs while I was browsing the store. They had other
colors, but the blue one stuck out because it’s my favorite color. I
thought the rain jacket would be a lifesaver for me to have while
walking around campus. It’s allowed me to get to many of my
classes that have been far from each other.”
