OMG!!!!!! what is offensive about your post? I'm just glad your ok and your so calm!!!!! Good for you. I know everyone here is glad your ok.
If I thought alligators were about about to crawl into my house was sitting in the middle of a hurricane.. well lets just say my post would be a little more high strung... I would be a total wreck. I dont know what I would be packing up first, my shoes, my cat...Gators in the house!?!?!?!? I would be gulping red wine and looking for the valium...
Forget the shoes. Save the cat...
