Just a quick check in

Hey all! Okay, I am sorry that I do not have enough time to really read the board these last few days and post. I did want to fill y'all in on some things though, since I prolly still won't have alot of time over the next few days - especially if power and lines go down and all...


I am not evacuating, but I do live in an area that is not under the low-lying flood warning areas. The Heights/Montrose area is safe so far as we know. Also, the storm looks like it is already losing strength and has turned toward the Beaumont area. Yeah, we will still have one hell of a blow job here but I don't think it's as bad as anticipated. My roommate evacuated with the dog and the cat yesterday, so the critters are safe. Lauren Lee and the baby were going to come here to stay, since it is safer here than at mom's, but all roads getting here are gridlocked and by the time they got here the storm would be done and over with. So they will be waiting it out at mom's. Seriously, it took me over 2 hours last night just to get from mom's to my house, and it's only a 15 mile trip. And today it is worse. There is no gas or water to be found now, but I am pretty well stocked up and will be filling some containers with water tonight, just to be safe. Cell phone service is completely down now, but the land lines are still okay though there is some difficulty calling out or in due to high calling traffic.


I do not know when I will be able to go back to work, either. That really sucks. Both of my jobs are in a county that was under mandatory evacuation as of yesterday. I am praying for all of my coworkers now and hoping that they all made it out okay.


Jo's brother has my number, in case he needs anything. I believe that they are also staying in a safe area, probably close to where I am at. My landlord is also going to be checking on me to make sure I am okay, and if worse comes to worse she said they would pick me up in thier truck and take me west with them. I will be okay here though, so I don't plan on going anywhere.


I don't know that I will get back here before all hell breaks loose, so if I don't I just wanted to give y'all some reassuring (((((((((hugs)))))))))) and tell y'all that I will miss you but will be back ASAP! I luv y'all!!!

Fill ANYTHING you can with clean water... pans, sink, tub, bottle, pails. Angel whispers of strength and safety are coming your way, Jo's DB, and all your family.


Please stay safe.


Many tight hugs and love you !!!!!

If you are out looting try to find a really cool TV and stereo system. You can carry them in shopping carts to your house. Put some food and baby stuff in the cart incase you get caught!
Make a big sign to take up on the roof that say's "help me, Hi LL boardies"!
Just kidding partner.
I do hope you stay safe. Glad to hear that your landlord will be watching out for you!
Maybe once everyone gets out and the traffic is better your family can make it over to your place since it is on higher ground.
I will try to call about meet and greet stuff tonight, but if I can't get through it can wait a few days or so.
Besides, I still have more phone calls to make down there.
Where did your room mate go with the pets?
I hope Jo's brother can get in touch with you.
Take care partner, I will be praying and wishing and hoping and sending angels and positive thoughts and anything else I can think of for you!!
I am pretty worried about you, but I believe you know what you are doing.
Sounds like it is a bad time to be on the roads right now anyway.
If you can get a call out to Jo, she could let us know how you are doing.
I'll be watching and thinking about you my friend! I know the area where you live from when I was down there.
Luv you, and take care!!
Hugs,
Laurie

Well, it's good to know that you are taking care of yourself. When and if you get the chance pop back in, and let us know that you are ok. Don't worry about going back to work just yet, everything should be ok. I'm glad that your landlord is going to be checking on you and helping you to move out of there. Please take care, and stay as safe as you can.

Beth, is your ex and son evacuated, or are they in a safe area?


Please take care...

We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us - the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices
Telling us which way to go
And we cried out "Is there no escape from the words that plague me so?"

And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea


Drawn to the Rhythm ~ Sarah McLaclan
