So, I know that millions of people are awaiting the arrival of Ike...Actually I am watching the coverage right now, watching Geraldo and his trusty palm tree. Truth is I would LOVE to be there in the midst, yeah it's a weather freak thing...
Anyway, I am praying for everyone in Texas and Louisiana. Reports coming are that several levees have breached in LA and there is significant flooding. Power was finally being restored in South LA and now it's back to square one. Since Gustav hit almost two weeks ago, TSA has served over 200,000 meals in South LA and MS! Donald is finally out of Houma, after spending the day loading fork lifts in tropical storm winds...He is spending the night in McComb and will be home tomorrow evening! Odds are that one of us will be leaving within the next week for Texas.
Right now Dylan and I are in Horn Lake, MS. We are here for Ashlee Woodcock and Stephen Wildish's wedding! We also went shopping today, for shoes and clothes for me. I found a nice dress for the wedding, two sizes smaller than I have worn in a long time!!!! It was also on sale which is always good. I bought Dylan some shoes at Target tonight, we get back to our room and realize that we left the socks at home! So, he will be sockless tomorrow, but his slacks should hide it...We were so funny tonight, when we came into the city and saw all the stores and restaurants we got so excited! In Selma we lived 30-45 minutes from Prattville and Montgomery. Here in Greenville we are 2-3 hours from any large city! We have a little more in G-ville than Selma, but I miss Target the most..
So, the day has been good and stressful...I will spare you of the stressful parts, the least of which was sitting for 45 minutes at the gas station! The gas stations in G-ville were nuts today! But, I am excited about the wedding tomorrow, and my cousin is getting married next weekend...
Well, I should get to bed...I am dealing with insomnia tonight, but typing random things on here is making me sleepy. So, I am off here to watch the storm coverage until I fall asleep...You know I love being in the middle of a hurricane, but if I lived in Galveston I would not stay. Unless of course I was working for The Weather Channel and had a safe place to stay...My fear is waking up tomorrow and hearing of a huge death toll. Why don't people understand that the storm surge is the deadliest part of the storm? When you hear of a 20 foot surge, that doesn't include the actual waves, that is just the wall of water. Think of it like a Tsunami, because really they are about the same. Right now while the eye is over Galveston, people are out walking around in the waves! Anyway, that is my mini rant...Anyone familiar with Houston? They are showing video of Brennan's Restaurant burning down, it's basically burnt to the ground at this point. Apparently they have been in Houston for 40 years and it's a famous restaurant...
I am really going to go now...When life gets back to normal I will be back with my posts about the election and candidates...Don't worry I have so much more to say! Blessings, be safe and stay away from big walls of water...
