Oooh... I hope it dies before causing any problems to the Gulf. We lived in Gulf Breeze, Florida when Ivan hit, and couldn't get home for 2 weeks to see what happened, (all bridges to our peninsula were out, and the only road heading to the shore was reserved for military and supply vehicles for that time) we just rented a house (because we had a 2 month old baby)... in.... Mandeville, LA (just North of Lake Ponchartrain, which is between New Orleans and Mandeville.) We stayed there a while, and moved back to Houston just before Katrina. When the big storm (forgot the name) was headed for Houston, and because of the tragedy and scare with Katrina, evacuations were ordered, we got stuck in 26 hours of evacuation traffic, saw a man have a heartattack on the side of the road, had a woman come up to us crying because her newborn was having heat related problems, saw people laying on the side of the road in whatever shade they could find because their vehicle had overheated, and no water reserves. People walking down the freeway with guns...
My husband is from Chicago, so a Hurricane is like the end of the world for him, and he said that the next Hurricane to come our way, were outta here.
Please Please PLEASE go away!! Texas is my home!
