Articulate E-Learning Challenge #41

I simply couldn't resist jumping into this challenge. At first, I was all excited because I'd finally get to test the Paper Fifty Three app that I downloaded on my iPad, UNTIL I read that this was a paper/pen kind of challenge.
I often suffer from designer's block when it comes to challenge ideas and I tend to begin with the best of intentions to finish. Designer's block either takes over, or the perfectionism latches on and before I know it, I've forgotten all about my idea in the first place.

Anyways, today I muddled through my idea and created a disaster plan near and dear to my heart...hurricanes. Being from south Louisiana, hurricane season trumps all other seasons. Your life is often defined by the hurricanes you've been through, for instance while everyone remembers Hurricane Katrina, my memory is of Hurricane Andrew, August 1992.

While my family evacuated to safety, my dad stayed behind to guard our property. We returned after several days away from home to have no power for nearly two weeks. If you've ever been to Louisiana, you know we have horrid humidity and if you've ever been fortunate enough to visit in August--it is unbearable. Thankfully, we sustained little damage to our home and even the family business. Many could not say the same, including our next door neighbor who suffered major damage to the second floor of their house.

At any rate, here's my attempt at a hurricane disaster "newspaper."

I'm so excited you have a new blog, Kimberly!! Really like your post-hurricane entry, too. When I was starting to work on the hurricane topic I was including pre-, during-, and post-hurricane. You were really smart to narrow it down to just one of those, since the details really make it come alive. Great job - and enjoy your new blog! :)

Adding the location map was a nice touch, Kimberly. I should update the post to include maps.

I'm glad to hear you were okay during Andrew. I was in Ft. Lauderdale during that one and we got the usual fallen trees, power loss, and even a broken window.

Thanks again for sharing in this week's challenge!

Kimberly,
Thanks for sharing your work and it's really saddening to hear about the regular hurricanes in your state but great to hear you've been safe!

I like your details...especially the map concept and the simple layout generally...well done.
