I sat in a gas line today and filled up, went to the Kroger and it was mayhem. I've never seen anything like this in my 42 years of living here. Moved here when I was 6....it's just bizarre and I rode out Alicia with no problems...We'll head west to Abilene (my aunt lives there) tomorrow ...I guess.

I'm so fearful of what I'll come back to.

No need to fear what you will come back to. You should fear trees and stuff like that falling on the house with you in it.

went to the Kroger and it was mayhem.

I'm way up in Killeen. I went to HEB, mainly to pick up a prescription, but also to get a few thing I really was out of, and to stock up in case my daughter's and their families choose to come up from Austin. Thought I'd get another 2.5 gallon of water, maybe a case of bottles, since I use 'em up 'cause the water here tastes like Shiite much of the time. They had a total of 4 20 oz bottles of water in the whole store. They even sold all the big office cooler size bottles. Not much bread left either. Everything else not too bad, canned stuff was pretty picked over. I got some tuna, since that's also something that I use and that will keep if I don't use it now. Because I had to stop somewhere else afterwords, I couldn't get anything that had to stay cool, but that stuff didn't seem to be very picked over. I'll get some tomorrow, and since the power here goes out in normal thunderstorms, I've checked to see that I have enough propane for few meals on the grill.

Based on some cell phone conversations I eavesdropped on, I'd say lots of folks were expecting visitors for the weekend. :)
