Day is grey, dark, and family, as the rest of Houston and Galveston wait nervously to see what will Hurricane Ike  bring.  Will it slow down or dissipate?  Will it turn another way?  Will it cause great damage or will it be much ado about nothing?  I always take our hurricane warnings with a grain of salt, just believing is just another routine advisory for hurricane season.  Well, this time, as I keep track of hurricane path, I am growing scared. I see it coming at us and I am unsure of our decision to not drive away from the path.  M seemed not worried and didn't even consider to evacuate.  I am somewhat angry at him.  In hindsight, I think I would have been feeling better to just have driven out of Houston yesterday.  Still, going to San Antonio would have been crazy as news are saying how they are out of hotel rooms as people evacuating from Hurrican Ike have been arriving.  And even so, traffic to get out of Houston would be a problem.  It would be so scary to be stuck in miles of traffic and then floodings (as they often occur in Houston area) or even worse, strong winds.  Times like these make me consider moving from Houston.  Of course, I always end up forgetting my consideration once hurricane season ends.   Hurricane season runs from June to November, so I have  months to think about this consideration.  Nevertheless, I do love Houston.  Where else would I be if not Houston?  MMmmm, I have imagined myself in France, LOL.  *sigh*  But for now, nothing else that can be done.  I am staying put in Houston, in my house, waiting for Ike to pass us by.

 

  Ike, be a gentleman, be kind, or better yet...just disappear and give us back our normalcy.
