Going for the High Ground


Well, my mother and brother have made it to Austin, safely away from the hurricane's path. My brother spent Wednesday night moving all my mom's valuables away from the windows.

It's strange being so far away from it all but having so many family and friends caught up in the middle of it. I spoke to someone yesterday who was working away....she said it was sunny and clear....then others were like, I'm outta here. It's hard to say what I would do if I were there; on the one hand, you don't want to overreact but on the other, better safe than sorry. I suppose if I were single I would stay but if we were there now as a family I'd have left the moment they said it was Category 5.

I will hope for the best for all of you in Houston and all of you who have managed to get out. Hopefully this will all blow over (pun intended) with minimal damage and everything will return to normal very soon.
