Hurricane Isaac = Not Before Summer Out. 2012. Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas Hit and Affected. Billions to Recover.

Hurricane 'Season', did not go without leaving its mark this year.  It hit in the area of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

There are a mixture of elements involved, Hurricane Isaac, it seems to be.

The area geographically, where the hurricane hit, is an area where intense rains and winds, sometimes even up to hurricanes, if they hit, hit.  That is a part of the vacation spot sometimes, and makes the area what it is. The residents there have some understanding.  A severe hurricane is almost like the death of an elderly loved one that has been in his or her final days for quite some time.  Sad because of the loss once passed.  However, the moment was to be expected.

Intense ominous clouds are seen over the area.  Some aspects are carry overs from past storms.  Storms of this nature, get into cycles, sometimes.  If they his the area a few times within the last decade, it thinks that it is supposed to make its arrival again.

The clouds did not looks as bad, angry, dark, as they have in other places in other storms, over the past 5 years.

Another subject, is names for series of hurricanes that hit areas.

It looks like the hurricane came up, in similar shape and direction as the State of Florida, working its way up from the waters south of Florida, around Puerto Rico then mushrooming in the land areas of the states, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas.

Maybe things are not perfect for the holy ascetic for every square foot of land there in that area where Hurricane Isaac took its toll, but, there are places which have not been hit by hurricanes that have left 100,000 people without power, and the houses up to their roofs in water, which is what Hurricane Isaac has done to many, that live in about the same ways.

Soft and large, might sum up the nature of the storm, Isaac that just made its way through, when it was making its way through, and broad and moderately ominous, to describe the clouds that hung over, comparatively speaking.

In some ways similar to the expectation of every now and then a severe storm will come through the area, there also seems to be the nature of the eye and soul of severe hurricane storm dropping down in that area.

All in all, there are houses still standing, 2 or 3 stories high, that are up to their roof in water.  Houses that just have flooding at the minimal.  When will power be on for everyone, will it be decades?  How much infrastructure for electric power has been destroyed?  How much is it all going to cost to make sure everyone there has a roof over their head they can call a house and electric power?
