The Evacuation
E-Day. Crunch time. Coco (the cat) and I are to head out in a couple of hours. Everyone I've talked to on the island is planning on heading out. Home are boarded and shuttered up. Its hard to believe that its only Wednesday and this storm isn't expected to reach us until early friday morning. So far Rita seems have its sights set on Port Lavaca about 100 miles to the Southwest of us. That puts us on the "dirty side" of her. They are predicting at 10 ft Surge tides, maybe more. Bad news ... My home is 9 1/2 ft above sea level.Having second thoughts about going to Baytown. Equality and ruok will meet me this afternoon in Dayton, It will be a little dryer there.
I believe it there is a big difference between us on the Texas Gulf Coast and those in Lousianna, Our local government has been planning for this for many years. Preparation isn't going to save much property, but it is going to save lives and prevent some misery.

Liberty: it's V. If the phones belonging to you, Equality, or Ruok stop working for whatever reason, please email me - if you don't have the address, look it up on the website for my school via the link "phonebook" (I don't want to post it here for obvious security reasons). I know I'm probably just being paranoid, but anyway, I'll get scared if I lose contact with you three. Keep me posted, I'll be checking your blog regularly. Good luck!
God bless and good speed! May you be safe in your travels and your home guarded by the mercy of luck and the fire-arms of good men and women. May you and an all you know return to normalcy quickly and painlessly. Best wishes!
