Frances, Hurricane II

Hello my Bayou Buddies, I don't know what to say....kinda in a crazed daze. Baby and I are planning to ride out another monster storm on the "outskirts of destruction." We left Calcasieu Parish yesterday which is close to Texas and Gulf of Mexico and came home which is farther east. Well, the storm has moved a little farther east in its projection. Last I heard, my trucker husband was trying to leave South Texas/Louisiana border area and come home. No word in a while. My elderly parents are under mandatory evacuation as well as my brother and sister and their children. I'm trying to get everyone here in Baton Rouge because we are a little more inland and eastern. It might be a mess here too. I don't know. I spoke to my angelette SueElla and she's heading north to Toledo Bend. They will go further north if they have to. They are more than welcomed here, it will just be tight. I'm spoke to the son of Gemma, the Katrina Storm Survivor, and she's still in the Baton Rouge hospital and doing much better with IV meds and will be in the hospital through this next storm. I will post updates until (or if) we lose power. My prayers are with my South Louisiana and Southeast Texas OH family. Please be safe. Onward (in His Grace), Frances

francis, what hospital is gemma in, I work at a hospital in baton rouge, I could check in on her. hope your family gets in a safe location. Hopefully this will be the last hurricane for the year. It was predicted 2 would hit the u.s. before november, this is the 2nd one., hope to hear from you soon ...

Frances, I will pray your husband makes it home to y'all. I know it will be more comforting to have him there. I'm sure he is just stuck in that traffic though. Hunker down and hold on looks like we are going for another ride. Bless you and yours, Tina
