An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Family Update
I finally got a hold of my friend in Houston. Amazingly, her biggest complaint, her ice has melted. Being the hard headed type, she was talking about heading out to hunt down a few bags. Heh. I worry about that woman. Ok, she’s fairly old, but if she doesn’t have power, what on earth would make her think that the C store down the road would have power. sigh…
I also spoke to my niece, who lives next to my sister, her mom. Her house got hit by a tree, but it was way too nasty right now to check the extent of the damage, if there is any. They also are without power, but since they live out in the boonies, they have generators….just in case. I guess this is one of those ‘in case’ moments. They are located about 130 miles from Galveston, so this is one seriously nasty storm.
Talked to Ick also a little while ago. He’s at work, in Dallas, and the wind is cracking one of his store’s windows. Granted, a rock had already gotten it started, but it’s being spidered even more. They were working to get it boarded up before it blows in on ‘em.
