10/24/09 Bash on the Boat (I'm With BOB) Thread #11

[Walt & Di]

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. My parents have had some of their furniture removed from their house as the canal in our hometown is rising. It is still a few blocks from their house, but they are worried.

Prayers to your family...My Mom has moved her car to higher ground...

Well went back and read some posts.

Tanya- We have been in school since 7/8. We are year round so we never close. Next year we are supposed to go to traditional, which means a paycut and a month off for me.

Heather- So sorry about your Dad and not posting this sooner. Big hugs and prayers coming your way.

Paige, I'm keeping your family in my thoughts tonight. This hurricane is just massive and I'm seeing some scary footage from as far east as Louisiana thanks to the storm surge. Please let us know how they fare tonight.

Well, they've left my sister's house and gone to my brother's house which is 2 stories. The water is rising and they are expecting two storm surges tonight and early tomorrow morning. I don't think their house will stay dry. I hope my sister's house, which she just bought in June will be ok. Thankfully, they all have flood insurance.

Sorry I missed you last night!

I had to grade papers yesterday, too! I think I got through about 14 5-8 page papers!!! AHHHH! My head hurt. I have only two to do today. WOO HOO!

Oh the essays! We have a big writing test in the spring, so I feel that I have to have them practice essays regularly. Grading 90 (1-2 pagers)at a time, yuck!

On a slightly sadder note, Dad went back into hospital on Monday. I was with Mum until they took him to his ward and we left at 11.30pm. So what with jet lag....we were knackered (british term for really tired). But he looked a lot better yesterday when Rick and I visited. Just wish the Drs could figure out whats wrong.

Anyway, got to keep positive.

Have a great day everyone and I'll stop by later (meetings and work permitting).

Hope your dad is doing better soon!

Thoughts and prayers going out hoping that things go ok.

Walt, is your mom and family ok? Half of my hometown has flooded roads and some have water in their homes.

scary stuff.

It's just amazing to see the scope of this storm ... Galveston looks to be in serious trouble. I hope no one stayed behind there.

Paige, I hope your family stays safe. We're thinking of them.

I saw on the scroll on Fox News that several levees have breached in LA.
