lissa_quonI call in sick to work after having only 3 hours of sleep last night. I had stayed up late to study for a bio test so I feel the ends justify the means.
I take a five hour nap, I wake up and my folks are gathering emergency supplies for Tropical Storm Rita. Apparently she may head this way and no one told me or mentioned it all today until now. In fact I get bitched at for not knowing as if somewhere in school, working the phones or dreaming my f-ed up dreams I'm supposed to know this.
So Galveston is evacuating, how much is just panicking speculation after Katrina and how much is warranted, no one will tell me once again.
My mom is mailing and sending insurance info to my sis in Oklahoma, and she's filling every spare bottle we have full of water. My dad is getting gas for the generator.
Could someone please tell me...
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?
UPDATE - 10:42 pm
Apparently it's heading for us and its supposed to be pretty bad in comparison to reports I picked up online. So I've been warned by my dad to get packing.
We've agreed that my artwork and computer hardrive are a priority. Everything else in my opinion is replacable.
EDIT-
I really have no idea how bad it is, the news reports here tend to blow everything out of proportion. The weather channel online thing said it would be a weak hurricaine.
But bear in mind my dad is the eternally cautious, paranoid boyscout. So we pack and prepare and Lissa gets griched at cause no one bothered to teach her to drive other wise we'd havee the van and the SUV and the truck to haul junk around in.
Believe me I'm annoyed too, I'd like to know we had the space for me to take all my art stuff.But ah well, live simply and all that rot.
Maybe I can get some practice in before the shit goes down, provided shit does.
