Catie - To get out of the heat...

New Orleans is hot
it is cold,
it very rarely snows or sleets,
it rains,
it storms,
there are hurricanes,
there is flooding
New Orleans whether is unpredictable
It does what it feels like doing
this is good in the sense that you do not get tired of it
all i know is it changes constantly, but when it is hot
it is HOT
and the desire to get out of the heat is great

Catie, age 16
