Hi, my mom & Dad live in the Woodlands in Houston, TX. My mom and Dad are 80
miles North of the Gulf, so she feels they will avoid the flooding but they
are still worried about the high winds.She went to three different stores to
stock up today. she says that they were able to buy lots of stuff except
bottle water, breads, batteries and toliet paper were gone from the shelves.
She
told me you can not imagine the throngs of people out shopping.She said if
they lose all power and water, it is going to be really bad.I have begged them
to get in the car with their pets and come to Michigan. Dad ( 70 y.o) and set
in his way's wants to ride it out. She has been filling plastic cartons with
water and stocked up on cola drinks, pop-top cans of food and fruits, and
pet food. She told me Friday she is going to fill the bath-tub with water so
she can flush the toliet. She says that you cannot imagine the traffic on all
the major freeways due to thousands of folks who are evacuating the
low-lying areas. It's a Nightmare! It has everyone scared!
I pray everyone comes through this hurricane o.k.!!! !!!Joni
I have a dear friend who is also in the Woodlands....one thing going for
them....all the tree's break the ground effect winds and will help. My
friends
family of 9 have chosen to go to her place then farther...they feel the
solid brick house set amongst large tree's will be enough. I sure hope so.
Best wishes to your mom and dad, may they come through as they went in.
Another thing in short supply over there is gas cans......
Here in Beaumont and the Lumberton walmart, they keep bringing entire
transport truck loads in with essential supplies ie bottle water, generators,
non
perishable food items. I am so glad Texas appears to be far readier than La
was to deal with such an apparent disaster.
