I couldn’t let another minute go by without wishing all our friends in the path of Hurricane Harvey a safe passage. We went through a devastating hurricane a few years ago when we were evacuated. Living on the water is a wonderful thing, but when Mother Nature roars her head there is nothing more frightening. When I heard on the radio, driving home from QVC last night, that one of the mayors from one of the coast Texas towns said if you stayed behind and didn’t evacuate as we told you…..”you should write your social security number with a sharpie on you arm so you can be identified after the storm!”, WOW, I guess you can’t speak any clearer then that. Let’s pray that you all listened to this warning and did the smart thing. Our prayers are with you all!……….

Prayers are going up from here in Virginia as well. Having gone to school in Texas, I have many friends still there. Those in the mandatory evacuation areas got out to stay with family in Austin, Dallas, and such. One classmate in Houston evacuated with his wife on a raft to go stay with family. Another in one of the towns in the metroplex decided to ride it out as she said one of her cats never really recovered from an earlier evacuation and she didn’t want to risk that. She has been getting in touch with us a couple of times a day. Said her house was a fortress against the wind, and although the rain is the worst she has ever seen, where she lives is not where there has been the most rain. She was able to get out for groceries this morning from the one grocery store that a delivery truck was able to get to. She also bought food for a shelter and brought a couple from the shelter home with her. It’s not over yet, though, and her many friends eagerly await updates from her. This is truly horrific.
After experiencing Sandy in NYC I am totally praying for safety of all those in the path of Harvey. Mother Nature is no joke and it’s still not over since they are expecting more rain for the next few days I heard on the news this morning.
Thank you Louis and Jac. Fortunately we are more inland than those on the coast however, our issue is the rain. It floods like crazy here and our ditches are so big you can fit a car into them and they still overflow.
Thank you again for your prayers. Glad you arrived home safe.
