We leave Austin to The Netherlands at 2:00pm. We are packed.
I'm worried about Surfside. I love that place. I'm afraid it is about to wiped off the map. I've seen it slowly recede over the past 10 years.
Left JR and Mimi in Saribell's care. Hope everybody on Redbud Circle fairs okay. Everybody, really; but my sister, nephew, friends, JR, Mimi, Redbud and Surfside are the closest to heart.
It looks like it is getting some shear and may not be too bad... but it's not looking real good...
We'll be over the Atlantic when its fury peaks.
Amber, it makes no sense staying. I'm guessing the roads are clear now. What's the point in "riding it out"?

Guess I am stubborn that way! It meant a lot that you were concerned. It has been horrific...wonderful to help others...a pride buster...an emotinal roller coaster but I would not have done anything differently. Your concern and Daddy's made me nervous but I trusted Myles. And now I know that he is the most caring man in the world!! So much to share...so many stories. When I came home to see my place just as I had left it I broke down...this is all I have now...the thought of losing anything was overwhelming and when you are listening to the winds of a hurricane all you can do is think about the damage it must be doing outside. And it blew for 12 hours...it wouldn't stop, Keith. But with all that I have been through with Blake and my marriage...I HAD to do it...I HAD to test myself...the worst part was the aftermath...not the storm. Kind of like my life, huh? It is not the storm it is how you handle it after the winds have subsided. I feel normal for the first time in a long time because of Ike. It was a finality to some things...hard to explain. But the storm is over.....the healing begins....and I had no family here. I had to take care of myself...that was significant for me. Many times I wanted to go to Mom and Daddy's...but I didn't. This hurricane needed to be ridden fully....and I can now say I SURVIVED IKE!!!
