Re: Getting ready for the hurricane!!

I'm preparing too. DH was sent to NO with his unit yesterday, so I will be fending for myself this time. Dad is being stubborn and in total denial (kinda like with Rita and his entire house was lost) So, I am taking DD with me to my FIL's in Dallas.
 
Stay safe everyone!

How's this for timing?  DH and I were going to NO this weekend for anniversary.  I told him we had better wait since all roads were now leading north.

I just checked TWC for hurricane update, and I think I should have bought more than 2 cases of water at Wal-Mart yesterday.  Poor Cuba right about now...

It's up to Category 4 now, and they're predicting it will land on the US as a Category 4 or 5. Watch out! Just yesterday they were only predicting Cat. 3.

DD#1 and I are heading back to Walley World after dark to see whats left of the water and ice, etc.  Maybe it won't be so crowded at 9 or 10 tonight.

Re: Getting ready for the hurricane!!

I'm in Houston. I didn't live here when Rita started heading for Texas. But I do remember watching the news and seeing everybody stuck on the highways when it was 99° outside. (even more fun with the humidity and turning your air conditioner off to save gas). I bet a lot of cars had overheating problems while sitting out there for hours and hours on end.

Houston is about as ready as can be. The city went around and cleaned out as many ditches and drains as they could a few weeks ago when the last storm was supposed to be heading this way. And the ground is fairly dry, so it should be able to soak up the water to a certain extent.

But for now, it's just a waiting game. We've got lots of canned food and water. But it's the power outage/no air conditioning that people here worry about. The hospital district has done upgrading of their drainage systems to prevent another Allison style flood.

No.  Not really.  My family got out which makes me feel better, but I have to say, I am pretty nervous.  I can't leave.  I want to, but I can't.  This really sucks.
 
If anyone else is in harm's way, please leave if you can.  I wish everyone luck.  I will be on and off of here as long as possible.  I will keep ya'll informed of what's going on.  Say a prayer.
