Being helpless sucks.
I had to evacuate Hammond, alone. It was one of the scariest things I had ever seen. Being so close to New Orleans and Slidell, once I got onto the interstate and saw all of the cars both ways going one way, I broke down. it was one of the scariest things I had ever seen. To see everyone trying to leave a place I call home was scary.
I am thankful that I got to safety. As bad as everyone said it was in Hammond I am glad I got out, because being alone through a storm wasnt an option.
I tried so hard to get information on Hammond. I wouldnt hear anything on the news or from any of my friends who may have stayed there. Needless to say, I was freaked out beyond belief. I was afriad my apartment wouldnt be there when I returned. Not hearing anything about Hammond, me and Kristen decided to make a trip there to find out ourselves. We were afriad they wouldnt let people into hammond, but no one stopped us. I got to my apartment and a feeling of utter relief came over me. My apartment was still there and there was VERY minimual damage in Hammond. The school was said to be opening up on Tuesday, but dont hold me to that, that is what I have heard. I am very sure that in the Hammond area, electricy will be restored soon. When we were there today, I got a cellphone singnal. I am sure everything there will return to a certian disbelieving state of normalicy.
I haven't talked to Luke since before the storm on Sunday. I know he is safe, but I need to hear his voice. I need to hear him say hes okay. That is what I need right now. If you read this Lukey, I love you so much and miss you more than anything. I cannot wait to see you again. I need you to be there to "hold my fingas!" Please know that I am okay and I hope I see you soon. I love you so much.
For those of you hit the hardest by this, my heart is with you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and will help you in any way I can. I have an extra bedroom in my apartment which I believe will be occupied by amanda who is from Belle Chase and cannot return home, but if any of you need anything, do NOT hesitate to let me know. I am here to offer whatever I can to you. I am sorry for your loss, but please know that if you have your family you have all you need. For those of you who dont, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Since I love to cook, I want to know where I can bring food to people who need it. I know a warm fresh meal can be very comforting to some people. If that is all I can offer, it is good enough for me. As long as I am helping in some way. I am so fortunate to have what I have, now I need to use what I have be help others. Let me know if you are stranded or know anyone who is, so I can get you what you need.
