Looks like I'll have to wait 'till it's repeated!!!

I watched it form and grow and then flew out to Spain to join the family there.

As such we watched the levee's go from the Villa outside of Benidorm.......very strange (for me).

Still we had CNN and FOX so we (I) got the 'real time deal' whilst floating in the pool!!!

I was in Ibiza, and otherwise pre-occupied... so didn't know a thing about it til i got on the plane to come home and someone passed me a newspaper with the headline " 10,000 MAY HAVE DIED IN US FLOOD NEW ORLEANS INUNDATED". I nearly jumped out of my skin!

Incredible footage watching those houseowners video their properties inundated by flood and wind, very powerful hurricane, all those Gulf communities helpless at the mercy of the storm.

Great footage and it must have been very scary to be in those houses surrounded by water
