Back atcha' kiddo !! Forgot to say I might have to change my name from PONDlady to Gulf of Mexico Lady YIKES!! Been through these my entire life. This one isn't going to be too bad. At least I don't think so. You'll be ok. Check with your local online county hurricane preparedness site and see what they suggest. Y'all take care of yourselves. |

Pondlady02 (OP) User ID: 355072 United States 08/04/2008 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pondlady02, just curious, but why couldn't you take the relative to your house? Were they unable to travel, or too many pets? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 479097It was nice of you to go stay with them. A prayer for you and hope all will be well. Hey, you clearly do not know these folks! LOL They push me around :) and I luv 'em. This may sound twisted but I LOVE stormy weather. It hasn't rained in Galveston in a coons age. 1.5" from Hurricane Dolly which them made them only 12" deficit for the year. I'm a nurse so I figure they might need me. There are some health issues. Besides ***whispering*** the old broad gives me flashback of this miniture nun I had named Sister Gabriel. 3rd grade.....kicked my ass just about everyday! I had the most beautiful set of maroon, fushia and chartreuse knuckles YOU EVER SAW!!! Seriously, I'm one of those "When GOD calls ya home, you can't put HIM on hold.! Thanks for the prayers. |

Some cash.If it gets bad you can always make a run for it. Unless they block a bridge? In that case I would get off the island before. I would say you should be okay for this one though. Cat 1- maybe. Get in a safe room and good luck. I'll say a prayer for you. |

That reminds me of a dream I had maybe a year ago! I dreamed I was crossing over the causeway and a crashing came from the right side. I saw the railroad tressle gate up and the causeway flooded, going down. SHIT!!! Sorry but that was a freaked out response. The State of Texas has control over the causeway. The just built a new one with the wavy solid guard rail AND NO EMERGENCY LANE!!!!!!!!!!!!! More than one person has broken down and GOTTEN KILLED because of this. Man, no more caffiene for me!!!!!! LOL |
