Make it Stop - PLEASE!
In the middle of helping us board up our windows my daughter stopped for a
second, her eyes filled with tears, and she whispered, "I just want it to stop!" Hugs, CatNipped |

I am so sorry-- all this seems absolutely scriptural (and I'm not religious). To say it's not fair seems like the most ridiculous of understatements. I would have just completely lost it by now. Persistent prayers and purrs for you and your family. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |

Get somewhere safe with your family and pets, Lori. Do it NOW. Head north, towards Arkansas. Everything will be okay. Trust me on this one. Jill |

Jill It's too late for us to try to get out. The roads out are all gridlocked - people are breaking down and running out of gas and literally making a steel blockade surrounding the city. The news reports are that it is taking people 8 hours to get to Conroe from here (a normally 35 minute drive) - and we'd be no better off in Conroe than we are here. Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped I'm watching this on the news. Isn't it about time for them to make the roads one way out? Or at least all but one or two lanes? And what I'm seeing I'm pretty sure is cars from Galveston that haven't even made it as far away as you already live. Jo |

[[In the middle of helping us board up our windows my daughter stopped for

Hugs, CatNipped It is NOT too late. Didn't you gas up the cars?! So sit in traffic for a bit. Turn off the car and wait. My parents flee this sort of thing all the time living on an island off the coast of SC. Go, Lori and family, go! Jill |

Oh, I don't blame her! One major hurricane is enough, the second less
than a month later is entirely too much. I hope Hurricane Rita will have calmed down by the time the storm passes through Houston. I hope you and your family will be safe, Lori. Melissa |

My parents flee this sort of thing all the time living on an island off the coast of SC. Go, Lori and family, go! Jill I really wasn't exaggerating. My son called me 3 hours ago and they were on I-59 heading out. He just called me 2 minutes ago and said they were turning around and coming back because he had gone exactly 2 miles since the last time he talked to me. Cars are breaking down and running out of gas and they can't get to them to tow them to the side of the road. They're trying to get gas trucks to those cars, but the gas trucks can't get through just like cars can't get through. This is going to be *our* "scandal" after the fact - city officials are even now pointing fingers at each other. We are *LITERALLY* blocked in and trapped. Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped It must seem like hurricanes are pursuing your family :-(( I am so sorry, Lori, and I am praying you will all be safe again without damage to your house. OMG, how much you have had to tolerate over the last few weeks. (((Lori & family))) Please keep us updated, I am very worried. Tweed |
