yes. to highlight, my mom is sitting in hotel room right now in Texas with my two brothers, their girlfriends, and my step dad. They are in texas and were driving all day yesterday. 6 people in a small motel someonwhere in texas, wondering whats happening to their home.
She does not know when she can go home, she even joked if its more than week she will drive to California to see me
Seriously people, try to think about the real things going on.
I know this has put my family stretched across from Biloxi to texas all out of place.
My grandmother told me tales of Hurricane Betsy as she grew up, and she sounded scared talking to me while hearing her roof and vinyl siding torm off the house as I talked to her.
this is all very real, just not to people who are not there.
i dont think people realy have the capacity to really visualize what storms like this do.
i have seen 5 feet of water come in over night and it is devastating to all the communities that are now drowning.
if i was there i would be preparing to use our boats to help people as my family has done for decades.
Our canal systems and pumps on the westbank do not always hold up and we have always used our sportsman tools (boats, big trucks jacked up off ground and diesel trucks for towing)
