Hurricane Ike is heading our way... You know it's bad when you go try and get gas and the pump will only let you have .16 cents worth of gas. So, I move onto the next pump, .34 cents. Gas is running out! Luckily, I found a place that I could fill up the car.
Next stop, Walmart. The shelves are bare. No bread. No tuna. No peanut butter. No batteries. The panic face has set in with most people wherever you go.
We haven't been evacuated yet. So, we are just bringing in everything from outside and filling our tubs with water.
If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear. Hopefully, everything will be fine and we won't regret that we didn't leave. For now, I am going to go watch Annie with Madelyn and try to forget about Mr. Ike. In a few days, I may be singing the song from Annie, "yesterday was plain awful...but that's then, not now."
I am also remembering today as Sept 11th and how 7 years ago so much happened that changed our country forever.
I'll post more later if I still have electricity.

Wow! How totally scary! I thought a mudslide sounded frightening. I'll keep you guys in my prayers. You'll have to let us know what a hurricane is like. Don't you think it a bit freaky that so many natural disasters are happening along with our economic pinch? I can't think about it too long.
so, i am a little worried about you and my parents and jeff's parents and all my friends down there!! i hope you all are safe!! i do kind of wish i were there for the storm! i love a good thunderstorm!! call me and let me know how it went. i remember being down there when katrina hit!! crazy!
