storms a-brewin', Paw

[sereneorange]

Goodness, people are having spaz attacks all over the place down here. Thurs-a Hurricin' a-brewin'!!!
yeah. There is.
Now, some of the people live 15 minutes from the beach, and I get them packing up and heading out early, but there are people who are itching to leave here early today and are freaking out if we have to come in tomorrow and they live north of Houston. Y'know what? As long as the damn thing isn't here yet, it is cool and I plan on coming in.

I need to remember to call the manager of our apts tonight and remind him to send someone to the property to lower the pool some. We likely would not have flooded during Allison, except that pool that was full and 5 ft from my door.

I am not looking forward to the 90 degree 100% humidity that we are going to have, but that is why there is underwear and spray bottles with water and wintergreen alcohol.
edit: Not coming into work. They are closing downtown tomorrow and will not let me in the building either. Guess I am going to stay home and clean, do laundry, and watch the storm creep here.

Called my brother's assistant, Charles, in Little Rock to make sure if we had to, that we could stay there. My brother is still with his crew and fleet of trucks cleaning up in Louisiana.

Connor's school is closed tomorrow. No school dance for him. They also called me to tell me that his after school program (Karate today) is cancelled. Cute. He didn't take his key with him. My sister is swinging home early to grab him and see if she can find some water.

did you see the asses in FL this morning on CNN? They were standing on a peir at the beach and letting the waves knock them down and swish them around. I just know there are gonna be people surfing in Galveston.

I got your text but we it was wild in here at the moment and i didn't get to write u back...

I would imagine its probably mad chaos down there...

Take care ok?

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

[smalltownhero.livejournal.com]

ok just keep it short cuz i'm not good at keeping up for long lengths of time lol

[xcentrikka.livejournal.com]

Aww, well, I don't really know what the hell is going on. It just sounds like total chaos. But I hope everything will be okay. Stay nice and safe.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

CNN or weather channel. Big fat storm coming.

[xcentrikka.livejournal.com]

I know that part! Heh. I just couldn't get a handle on what catagory it was or where exactly it was going. Of course, I guess none of that was very sure until recently.

Really, stay safe and take care. It sounds like a scary one.

[miashart.livejournal.com]

It's category 5 hurricane, Marilyn. How can you be so nonchalant? Shouldn't you & Connor pack tomorrow & get out of town?

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

I am not on the coast for one. Galveston is a breaker island for a reason. We have provisions. We are keeping an eye on it. My sister works at the VA about 2.4 miles down the road. That is the only building in the med center that didn't take on water during allison when the whole city was underwater. Karen put us on the list to go there if we need to. it is really safe.

Yes, well, right now, Rita is the third most intense hurricane on record. Needless to say, I'm worried about you, ya stubborn beeyatch. :P~~~

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

look damnit! There will not be as much rain as Allison that put us under water. This old building is brick and survived a few hurricains. I am actually thinking about going to parents house (19 miles more north) and they have no flooding and hurricane straps. I cannot go to ARK or out of town anywhere else because I have no way to get there and no where to stay.

[davidfcooper.livejournal.com]

Don't wait until the last minute to get to the VA. Stay safe!

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

We are shoring up the apt, then are going to parents house tonight. They are a bit further north, higher ground, and when they built their house, we talked them into hurricane straps.

[davidfcooper.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it. *hugs*

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

it is cool. We are good. No worrying!

[alichick2004.livejournal.com]

You can always run away to north carolina!

I am sorry. I hope you guys find water.

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

we have a buttload of gatorade, propel fitness water and crystal light bottles.
I brought home two big empty ozarka bottles and we are gonna fill them.
