To be fair, his wife is an RN and she can't leave (so he says). They're not evacuating her mother, either, from a nursing home near Hobby Airport. I told him that was a mistake, and that we would take her in if he could get an ambulance to bring her.
But, he said no.
I just don't understand it; my sister lived down at Morehead City when one was headed straight for her -- and she lived ON THE BEACH; I pointed out to her that NC hung "out there" in the Atlantic and that she could just open her front door and let it roar right out the back door, and still she lingered.
My daddy and I decided it was the falling barometer effecting their brains.
BTW, my niece in Wilmington was in lockdown for the hosptial in case of emergencies during storms.....and she's a speech pathologist. Go figure.
I've got an aunt that lives in Katy, and my mom was visiting. I called them yesterday and said if they didn't come up, I was coming down and getting them. I've got two cousins + families in Galveston, and offered them a place to stay this week, but they didn't take me up on it (we're in Waco). My mom and aunt are up here, but they're saying we'll get 60 mph winds with gusts up to 80 or 100.
