Everything in there is from my imagination. Hope I didn't make errors.<br />I wrote this before Hurricane Katrina, but it only took about three months. There's a hurricane in it I named Hurricane Crystal, and then when H. Katrina came up the next summer, I thought I should change the name--thinking a publisher would think I was using Katrina. But in the end I didn't, and it never became as issue.
