The stores are crazy! College classes closed so i didnt have to go...i went to this grocery store I work at (in casual clothing) and I ended up helping them out. I dont think its gonna be too bad here (in bryan) because evacuees are coming here. (they wouldnt if it'd be bad right?).

So according to the news, tomorrow in the evening is when the rain and wind starts. And saturday, well, lets just wait and see what happens...

Now they're saying its moving more north. We'll still get hit though....Ah well,Our fords are being used as getaway vehicles while the GM's stay here and get the hurricane,

. ( If we leave.)

But seriously,Its the storm surge us here by the rivers and ship channel gotta worry about.
A lot of people in our area already left,i'm just glad I'm not in traffic like everybody else is.
I wish the best of luck to everyone else involved in this as well,
This isn't Allison! Lol.

I am going to pass the hat at my staff meeting tonight and get some $ to send to the Red Cross. one of my men's wife who is a nurse headed for San Antone this AM and another one of our people has donated his vacation and personal time to volintier for the Red Cross. Take care. Scotty.

I live in Pennsylvania, 20 miles north of Philadelphia...I witnessed gas stations jammed with traffic, 30 car lines to purchase fuel for their cars, trucks and vans. The price was 2.779/gallon, and it is 9-22-05 8:12PM. I saw several gas stations on the way home from work tonight, they were all very busy indeed.
Screw the 8 year old rule...GO TO HELL, RITA!!!!!!!
