Hurricanes
After being skirted by hurricane Hanna I feel pretty blessed. The other recent ones ended up in the Gulf. Poor people. They’ve really had a tough time with the weather. Ike has hit Arkansas today after slamming into the Texas coast … Galveston, Houston, etc. I called LaRue in Dallas this evening to make sure they were ok. She said they just got some rain and it was a little windy. Then I called Mama. They had just been issued a tornado warning for their county and she was prepared to go into her closet if it got bad.
Rachel and I went to get gas for the gas can early Thursday evening. Joe was fixing to mow the yard. Traffic was awful and all the gas stations were crammed with vehicles trying to get gas. We didn’t know what was going on. Soon we found out that gas was supposed to go up to $5/gal by the next day and everyone was rushing to fill up their tanks. (I am assuming this was due to hurricane Ike).
Cleve was out-of-town, couldn’t find Jerriod, and Cathy was at a Business After Hours. Joanne called and asked if I could go take pictures. She didn’t have her camera. So Rachel and I played photographer. Got some good shots but it was crazy!!
Hopefully, things will settle down and get back to normal (whatever THAT is) soon.
