Rita madness
--my couch, tyler--
i have a really bad feeling about this hurricane. not so much for my sake - even though latest news puts the eye directly over tyler. but i haven't got much to lose, honestly. i've already made plans to camp out in the office for a minimum of three days (we've been put 24/7 on call for the next few days). i'm bring my blanket, pillow and some clothes. my editors have stocked up on canned food and water for us. gas is out. everywhere. traffic is awful. people are freaking out. i want to be with my family, but this is my job. with generator power available at the office, my editors told us there really is no reason for us not to come to work. come hell or high water. i think i'm scared mostly for my parents and sister. my mom called to tell me where the safe will be and my sister is checking into a shelter tomorrow. i think i'm scared - definitely uneasy. my plea for everyone is to please keep in touch over the next few days. please. my office number is 903.596.6283 - i'll be there most of the time. keep everyone in your prayers and be careful.
