Checking in again
Aug. 28th, 2005 06:12 pmI know a lot of you are worried about us, so I just thought I'd let you know we're still here, still have power/cable, and still waiting for the worst. The feeder bands have moved in, and we're getting rain, but not yet a heavy downpour. The wind is up--you can hear it in the trees, but it's not even gale force yet.
I'm quite a bit worried about my sister-in-law. She lives west of here in Bay St. Louis, and is not all that far off the water. She refused to come on over here. (Kind of the same reason--she didn't want to have to bring her cat.) Her house is only 11 feet above sea level. So now I'm really worried about her *and* the hubby. He called a while back, though, and is still OK.
I will probably take a little break from the computer, and then, if we still have power, check in again in about an hour or so.
I really appreciate all you guys so much.
One thing: I've been emailing
marigoldg and haven't heard back from her yet, so I don't know if she knows that I have her mom, and that her mom's OK. If anyone in the UK knows how to get in touch and let her know we're all right so far, it would be appreciated.
