#Karen - I will never have a laissez fair attitude!

Let me say this... I would not change a thing that we did to prepare for Karen.  It gave us an opportunity to test the systems we have in place.  I would much rather be over prepared than have a laissez faire attitude and be under prepared.  

 Thanks to my team and my clients that "get it".  This was my Facebook post from the 3rd.  Y'all are super protective of us and you have no idea how much I appreciate y'all.  

 Latest on TS Karen. In my defense... I know it is early on and the reason I am watching and keeping people updated is because of the number of clients that we have traveling. It is an insurance obligation as well. So to the person who just sent me the private message about being an "alarmist" (the former "FB friend and now former client) that is why I choose to run my business this way. I hope it does not come near, I hope it does not give us any difficulty at all but my former client and facebook friend - "Hope is not a plan".

  • JHaving a plan in place is the smartest way to work. Better to have a plan and not have to use it than the other way around!! Nicole Douget, ignore the jerk.

  • K @Barbara - No one, and I mean NO ONE said "don't worry" about Katrina. Did you not hear about, much less read the award-winning series of articles by the T-P that warned us all that a disaster was coming? This was several years before Katrina. Even Ray-Ray Ragin was worried, even though he did *nothing* to prepare his "chocolate city".

  • K I appreciate knowing that you're going to let me know if ANYTHING seems off with my babies, my house, or the larger environment, so if that means you're an alarmist, well, so be it! I mean, really! "That storm is prolly no big deal...oops sorry, your window blew out and your cats are prolly around here somewhere, don't worry" just does not work for me at all. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way.
