As you know, I personally defied the mandatory evac order, along with my five year-old and my Dad because we live much farther inland and all our neighbors were staying. I would probably do it again as long as it was a Cat 3 or lower. Might go to Conroe if it was a higher category, but you can see from the pictures that the entire town (even that far out) was hit so there really isn't a safe place (except, well, Austin...). :) Glad your parents are safe!MJVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952769418216773279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-4328420452002413682008-09-17T15:44:00.000-05:002008-09-17T15:44:00.000-05:00Glad everyone made it through safely.And I am a fi...Glad everyone made it through safely.<BR/><BR/>And I am a firm believer that Jim Cantore would still have a full head of hair if he stayed out of hurricane-force winds.Wineplzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412881827548705342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-60905268339690023492008-09-13T12:36:00.000-05:002008-09-13T12:36:00.000-05:00At least you know firmly know where Landon gets hi...At least you know firmly know where Landon gets his sometime stubbornness from! As for your question, I think that falls under firm time/ administrative duties :) I am sure you found some training or err, organizing, etc. <BR/><BR/>hang in there and I hope your parents get in touch with you soon.

What made this time frustrating was that they have a daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and two empty well-furnished guest rooms 2.5 hours away. I preferred to call it "coming to visit your grandson for the weekend and see your daughter's new house for the first time since all the boxes went away" rather than "evacuating". Plus my sister and brother live within a half hour of me so we could have all had a nice happy family reunion today. But instead I'm waiting to hear from them, and since I haven't had contact with them since last night, I'm growing increasingly irritated at their stubbornness.<BR/><BR/>Though I understand it because they passed a good bit of it along to me.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-77291606687706499252008-09-13T12:06:00.000-05:002008-09-13T12:06:00.000-05:00That must be so scary for you- I wouldn't be able ...That must be so scary for you- I wouldn't be able to concentrate at all!

I told my parents on Wednesday that they should just get in their car and start driving to my brother's house in Oklahoma or my apartment in LA or their friends' house in San Antonio. But of course they decided to wait it out. <BR/>Last I heard, the eye had just passed over KW and they were bracing for the back half, but of course that was 3 hours ago.

We're in FL and every other week there's a storm headed straight towards us, only to turn at the last minute. It's also hard to leave a home that you're attached to without sticking around to try and protect it so I understand your parent's decision to stay at home. <BR/>I hope all is well with your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-49502916976239162332008-09-13T04:02:00.000-05:002008-09-13T04:02:00.000-05:00It's an unbelievable storm.

He is at a fire station monitoring the storm. They have lost power in parts of town like where my mom and sister are. Besides that every thing is fine right now. I'm very afraid for my friends who decided to brave the storm in Baytown with their two small children. Very scary stuff.Someone Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984828094257765105noreply@blogger.com
