[cajungirl]

Thannks. My daughter is in Mew Orleans a couple blocks from Lake. I am on the east coast and they are phoning me constantly. She is terrified but windows are boarded and they have a fort under their stairwell. Hubby is at home in our house that is surrounded by trees and glass,,all big wondows, hi cathedral ceilings. He doesn't seem worried by I am imagining a tree coming thru a window,,he won't sleep in the laundary room, the only room without windows. I wish I were there holding my granddaughter next to me,,I know I could hold onto her better than anyone, I think. This is terrifying.

My prayers are with you and your family cajungirl, I was 1500 miles away when a cat 3 hurricane hit my home and it was horrible feeling of being so out of control. I just had to trust God to protect those I loved. We lost almost everything materially, but survived. I was able to talk to everyone staying at my house by phone through most of the storm and had the only phone working the next day for miles. Not much left of the house, but at least I knew everyone was okay. Two months later when I got the largest phone bill I have ever seen, we let everyone use it to call their families, I was a little upset with the phone co for not giving me a break. Tell your husband matresses are very good protection against flying objects. Hopefully they all get some rest tonight and you ,if possible.
