We're here in Florida, a couple of states away from home, waiting to see what Hurricane Gustav will do.
We're so worried for our New Orleans, and pretty uneasy about our house in Mississippi (high winds, flying debris, falling trees – all have crossed our minds). We've become Weather Channel junkies, like everyone in Gustav's potential path.
But we've interspersed the storm-obsessing with some great adventures on the beach for Berry and Kickbaby. After all, there's no reason for them to feel the strain. It takes our minds to better places too.
This is Kickbaby's first hurricane – and I suppose Berry's too, if you don't count living through Hurricane Katrina when I was eight months pregnant with her.
I will count it, if you don't mind. I'll never forget a minute of that.

Wishing you safely and reprieve from this storm - Hoping it keeps well away from you this time and that you all stay safe and out of harms way.
ReplyDeleteOh Stay safe, my friend!! Sending prayers your way!
ReplyDeleteEeep, stay safe! I have no desire to experience a category 3+ hurricane firsthand. I hope the damage is minimal!
ReplyDeleteChildren and beaches are good for distracting you I'm sure. Still the realities of what could possibly be are scary.
ReplyDeleteHoping all is well when you return home.
I hope you are doing well and keep being a weather channel junkie!
ReplyDeleteHelen, I'm so glad you posted. I'm glad you and your family are safe. Our friends in Baton Rouge have evacuated as well, and our thoughts are with everyone in the eye of the storm.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your loved ones stay safe.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest brother had to ride out some nasty storms until he moved to Oregon.
Good luck down there.
My prayers are with your family (and your HOME)!
ReplyDeleteH, I really hope when you get home that there's little or no damage. Thank god Gustav was downgraded. I have been watching the news updates down here in Australia...thinking about you!
