Ike. He cometh.
I dislike Ike.
Everytime I look online, I have a new blog from another friend that decided not to evacuate. I am sick with worry. Of course, all of them are out of power now. My mother stayed behind. Puke.
I worked for 4 years at this waterfront megalomart pierattack. It is currently underwater. The footage from the Hilton/Clear Lake is mile (singular) from at least three people I know.
I don't really have words for this.
Michael is staying about 30 minutes from me. We both evacuated to Lousiana. Today we tried to make light, have fun despite. We went to New Orleans, but because of our direction drove through the ninth ward. This was the wrong choice. From over passes we could see miles of houses, destroyed. Three years later, and there are trees growing through second-story windows, ivy has over-taken rooftops. I am scared to see home tomorrow.
