I tried to tell them to leave but they just didnt.
Maggie's family got 8 feet of water in their house on Herlihy St. They had to escape to their attic for 3 hours from 9 to 12 on Monday. After the water finally receded, they didn't eat for 24 hours. Her sister was suffering from dehydration and tehy had to take her to the hospital. Her Granny's and aunts medications were lost and they also needed to go to the hospital. They didn't eat for 24 hours. They were stuck in Waveland from Monday till last night. They are now safely in Colombus. I tried to tell them to leave. I can only imagine how scary that was. Thinking you could die at any second. I'm just really glad theyre all okay. Okay, so waht if they didn't get any water for Camille. This was a different storm and what happens if you don't have any water but a tree falls on your house or your house gets completely obliterated. I hope they realize how lucky they are. They came close to dieing. I don't know what i wouldve done if you I could never see or hold my beautiful Maggie again. I'm just so happy theyre okay. I don't know what I'd do without her.
Adam said he wants to bitch-slap his parents for putting their children in danger like that and not leaving, and I can't say I disagree with him. Tomorrow we're going to Pensacola and Saturday were going to try to take a day-trip over to Waveland. My house doesnt have a roof but i really expected it so i dont really care. At least Maggie and her family are okay. Saint Clair (school and church) are gone. The entrance to Wal-Mart is collapsed. K-mart and that shopping center is gone. Taco Bell is obliterated. All of it. All of the stuff we grew up with is destroyed or close to it. Let's just hope it doesnt happen anytime soon, or ever again. I feel really bad for you who have nowhere to go like me, but we'll all get through this. Well, I'm gonna go. Bye.
