ok I don't know why I can't get the darn picture of the evacuation areas and routes map to work.... Ah well... Theres a pink area where the barrier islands are (ie Galveston), theres a peach area and then a red area... and then theres Houston on the other side... Seans in the peach area.... And he called me as he was leaving this morning at like 5:30.... He and Laurie are headed to Lubbock to visit the in laws for a few days... B called shortly after to let me know he was on his way to Austin to stay with his sister.... And Nate is headed up to Dallas to stay with his... I guess they're his in laws, kinda... (his boyfriends sister whatever that would be....) Sure I'd have liked to sleep but I'd also like to know they're okay... And I do and I can always catch up on sleep... They all guarenteed me they wouldn't go back to Houston till probably Sunday ish.... I've got some friends in the process of getting ready to evac but they are.... a few others planning to ride it out and mom and linz whom I haven't talked to yet.... I'm goin to try to get a hold of them later.... So a bunch of schools have closed for the rest of the week, some are closing just tommorrow and Friday... HISD is still open but 'keeping an eye on the weather'....
Ok just a quote I got from the Chronicle online.....
"We really don't have a feel for this hurricane, but all the computer models are saying this is a Texas storm," said La Marque spokeswoman Lora-Marie Bernard. "Given the recent affects of Katrina, I think it is very hard not to let that factor into how you respond."
Ok I can understand the fear.... But to only trust computers with your safety and the safety of whole towns? Not the wisest move in my opinion....
Also Leslie T has a couple of very good points today....

Let's see.... Oh yeah.... Sleeping.... I guess the guys had read my entry from last night before calling me and were like you almost slept through a hurricane? I've known them so long I forget we can always learn something new about each other... I then got to defend myself, don't know how well I did since I was hald asleep.... But yeah I was like I've slept through the tornado drills here at noon every Saturday since Freshman year.... And those are freaking air raid sirens.... Actaully slept through a tornado too once.... I'd had like 3 hours of sleep the night before and i slept through dinner and when i woke up at like 10, someone told me there'd been a tornado.... Turns out there had been and an RA had gone around banging on the door to get everyone in the basement... Oops... Seriously once I'm out, I'm down for the count.... It almost takes an act of God to wake me up... Or if my acid reflux acts up.... I lay down one way (usually curled up on my side - makes having company and spooning easier....) and wake up the exact same way.... Mom always says I sleep like a log.... As do a few other people.... I've also been told I talk, sing, laugh and drool in my sleep.... I've also had whole conversations with people I sometimes remember but most of the time don't.... Its very interesting....
aight time to do some homework for British Lit.... Laters....
