Godless Mom in the Bible Belt

I thought I'd be running around like a wild woman tonight but as it happens all is calm here on the home front. We are as ready as we are ever going to be. Food, water, radio, batteries...We've got it all.

We have five people who are staying with us, they have evacuated from an area closer to the coast. It took them over 12 hours to drive the 40 miles between their house and ours. The mass evacuation from the Houston area has been very difficult but things are starting to look much better, most of the areas near the coast are ghost towns now.

I know a few people who are being stubbornly stupid and refusing to evacuate from areas that are in danger. Hopefully they will be the exception and not the rule. As of now it looks like the eye of the hurricane will be passing east of us which puts us on the clean side and in less danger of tornados and horrible flooding. Unfortunately all of that damage will be happening in our ship channel near our refineries...Not a good thing for the price of gas over the next few months.

I'll post when I get a chance. Thank you all for your kind thoughts, I'll let you know how things go! Meanwhile, check out this article.
