ok, this may be off the general topic, but I just thought I would share me story.
My husband works with FEMA and has been deployed to the area in the path of the storm.
He did not receive any info on friday, even though they had him on standby since wednesday. well he figured that since he did not hear anything, that they would wait until monday to deploy him. (he actually does work with the clean up crew, working the the contractors and setting things up to clear away the debris. He is not a first responder.)
Anyway, he gets a call on saturday evening, about 6:00 pm, that he as to be in tallahasse, fl by noon on sunday. so we need to run around, get a car rental and get him packed since the office is not open until monday. He gets there today, and they assign each man an area to go and work with the city government on monday. Well, his area is about an hour and a half past disney.
He calls me late this after noon and says, find me a room, in this area, (I am sure that you can now figure out were I am going with this story), I was on the phone and computer for over 2 hours trying to find a room for him. He is drive south, and I start telling him, don't go to far down, I can not find a room. Do not go past disney, (since we know the area very well), needless to say he is at downtown disney right now, and I can not even go, because the kids start school tomorrow.
I can not believe this, he is not even disney crazy like me, he is complaining that the fireworks are going to wake him up.
I know that he has a very important job to take care of, and he is going to be able to provide alot of needed help, but why does he have to be in my favorite place in the entire world.
Just thought that I would let ya'll know what is going on. Will try to update when he find more out in the morning. But for now, he was just wanting a pillow, he had been up and driving for over 15 hours.
Hope to have more info, tomorrow.
