Katrina Day 2, 2:00 a.m.

It's closer to 2 a.m. now. Sitting up and writing sure beats lying in bed wracked with anxiety in the dark.

Occasional useful bits of info come via radio, and I talk with my mother, who has her own thoughts on getting through all this. Who knows how many others are awake out there right down the block or scattered through the storm path? Most of us are unable to communicate with one another, but we have more in common right now than we'd usually imagine. A Category 5 hurricane is capable of wreaking so much havoc that we're all unified in a variety of ways. We'll need each other to get back on with the routine of our lives.
