I am curious where was everyone for Hurricane Katrina and what do you remember?

I remember watching several newish parked MB convertibles get flooded and the protocol was (as the water came up around/in them):

1. Lights flashing and horn blowing
2. Windows roll down
3. Top goes down

Not a good day to be me

To better days.
