Metro New Orleans DISers - check in!!! - Part II

[lucyanna girl]

I cannot tell you how much I admire the courage I read in your posts.

I say this because I see what it does to my children to think they may lose their second home in three years.

God bless and keep everyone safe in his loving hands.

Just wanted to add a prayer of encouragement for all of you. Hang in there.

Sounds like I could have a houseful. Doesn't sound like anybody's headed west (probably not a bad idea), but if y'all need something, just shout. I'll be checking in later.

Hey y'all!

I'm still here- DH had to work today. I'm washing clothes and am packing up- unless this thing moves more west, we're off tomorrow to Florida. I wish I could happy about it, but I'm not. I'm devastated. I watched my neighbors across the street pack up and leave this morning, just like I watched them 3 years ago with Katrina. Deja vu. They just finished their house and moved in last week.

Quick question- does anyone know if the WDW kennel takes birds (a cockatiel)? I have a housesitter who is not leaving at this time, but if she decides to go (she'll let me know tomorrow morning), we have to take him with us and I have no idea what to do with him once we get to Florida.

yes we let some there 2 years ago 3 cockateils and a plum head parakeet!

Good luck to everyone, stay safe.

Hey guys! I am not around as much as I used to be. I wanted to drop by and tell you guys and my beloved Nola, that I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Nola has always been my second home and at one time was my home and you guys have always been so nice to me and welcoming into your Nola thread. I am praying for the best for you guys.

I will check in when we get to Hattiesburg tomorrow, don't worry if it's late, we're anticipating lots of traffic.

Hi guys,

I don't usually post to this board (although I lurk often) and just wanted to say that I hope and pray that everyone stays safe.

We will be leaving in the early morning hours and headed to Jackson til Wednesday. Hopefully we'll be able to come back by then. I'm also praying that we can beat some of the contraflow traffic by leaving very early.

God bless!

I love this city but I can't go through this again...

Have a safe trip and when this is all over, come back and hang with us. We are a fun bunch!

I totally agree with you. The one time I had to evacuate for something, I was a hot mess. It was 8 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. It's not something I wish on anybody and I hope I never have to do it again. If I had to do it twice in 3 years I don't know if I could handle it. New Orleans and the surrounding area must be full of some really strong people.

 

[TerrytownGrl]

Stay safe Christie.

Thanks, Kat. You too.

If I may ask, where and when did your parents depart from? And how long did it take them to get to Jackson? We'll be leaving sometime in the early am (before contraflow).

Hi guys...My mom, DD and I all arrived at my DS's in Baton Rouge this morning around 10. We took Highway 90 to HWY1 instead of I-10!

I hope we ride this storm out okay. DS has large trees behind her house.

Everyone please be safe!
