The sun is shinning and there is a gentle, if humid, breeze on the air. One would think this just another balmy September day in Houston. Alas, we await Ike, which has gained speed (meaning more surge) and continues towards us.
We made it to the Heights in a couple hours yesterday, so evacuating was nothing like Rita. It helped that instead of fear mongering, the media was stressing that only people in surge areas should leave and everyone else should shelter in place. Sound advice that.
No real news, just wanted to let everyone know we are more than ok. I am enjoying a relaxing morning with coffee and an uninterrupted Bible study. Being in a house with multiple people ready and willing to amuse the kiddo is nice. I was able to drink two cups of coffee before they got cold! Oh, the luxury!
It really is the small things.
Glad you guys are safe. I’m watching the news and it looks like Galveston will get pretty bad.
Michelle,
Thanks for the text message yesterday! I hope everything is well with you. I will return to the Houston area with Desmond tomorrow and back to work on Tuesday.
Please let us know how your home faired in the hurricane. We (along with Jason) are sending our thoughts and prayers your way.
Meghan
