A couple days before Hurricane Rita was to hit, we packed up our stuff and evacuated out to Ponchatoula to sit out the storm. We did not feel good about leaving either New Orleans or the Common Ground behind but we just weren't willing to accept the possibility of flash flooding and levee bursts.
Tensions in Algiers the final night were extremely high, largely due to apprehensions caused by disturbances after Katrina hit. Will managed to convince some National Guard to keep a close watch on Common Ground so that they would remain safe after Rita.
