Destination unknown
August 30, 2008I woke up this morning intending to go to Houston to bunk with my little sister who's in medical school there. We planned to have nice sister bonding time, with plenty of time to drink coffee, study, maybe catch a movie or two, even swim at her apartment complex's pool.
But now the Gustav forecast is varying, with a lot of movement westward. lNew Orleans will still get hit by hard wind and rain, it looks like, and depending on how hard the hurricane is, we could stil have substantial flooding. But Gus will send most of his wrath to woutheast Texas/wouthwest Louisiana, where he hits landfall.
Um, and where is Houston again? Oh, yeah, southern east Texas. The idea of fleeing New Orleans and going west, only to find Gustav there just doesn't make a lot of sense right now.
So, me and some friends are looking east instead. The problem, of course, is that every hotel/campground/etc... in Mississippi and Alabama is booked solid. I just read the latest Associated Press report that said around a million people on the coast are seeking higher ground.
So where am I headed Tennessee? Florida? South Carolina? Who knows where I'm going to end up?
