If I'd known that, I 'd had to a steaming pot of strong coffee ready. :-)
We're hunkering down. Hubby will put up plywood on windows in the morning. Our house is totally covered with trees. I just pray they don't snap and fall on the house.
I'm a bundle of nerves but the family doesn't see it. Everyone seems to be taking their cue from me.
If they only knew how terrified I was they'd run screaming.
We're in a hundred year flood plain. That's not very comforting.
Oh well, we'll do the heavy lifting and leave the rest in God's hands.
I sure wish you all were leaving. Come on over here - cousin's house is big and you would like them. I don't like those trees either. If I have any left standing, they are coming down with chainsaw.
Shame my hubby isn't there to help with the plywood. He gets antsy to do something when things are going on and right now I have nerves bordering on raw.....like a few million other people. But can't let the girls see it.
I'd like to say if we made it through 8 years of Clinton, we will make it through Rita.......ok reaching here and I'm not very coherent - 3 hours sleep since Tues night. But I have just sent an urgent prayer up for you and your family to come through this safely with little or no damage. And if you decide to run this way - let me know.
