I am concerned, even worried, about my friends and especially my son who live in Houston. My son lives in The Heights, so they normally don't get flooded, but who knows, with this monster hurricane bearing down? My dear "Mama" is in a rehab facility there, and I'm hoping they are far enough west to be out of harm's way. But my son's little tiny house isn't the best, and I don't know how well it will hold up to the winds, severe rains, and the bayou's and canals rising.
It is sad to see the devastation of Galveston already -- it was a very special place to me, and I got to go there several times in my 6 years of living in Houston. Each time was a very special visit. Once was the first place we went after our baby boy died in 1991 -- a long story, but Galveston played a big part.
I'll be up late tonight watching, and waiting... and praying.
