    Made it

    My company flew me home today.

    I am going over to my Uncle's house. The trees here bother me.

    OH, well.

    Good Luck...You still live off in the "Thoroughbred" area.

    I am staying here in Prairievile. We should be fine here voiding tornadoes.

    My dad refused to evacuate and will probably have 10 feet of water to deal with in the house. I convinced my mom to leave him there... My brother stayed also... he to will be swimming. His reply.. well I got a life jacket.

    I am beyond frustrated... I am stuck between puking and screaming at this point.

    Rob....You have my sincere sympathies about your father and the entire predicament there.

    My youngest son and pretty little wife live just south of Houston so they aren't totally out of the woods.

    Kevin, Rob and all who live in that area.....You will be in my thoughts and prayers for the next couple of days.....

    I'll be thinking of you guys as well. My nephew, his wife, and new baby made it to Georgia about 2 a.m. this morning. They live in New Orleans. They feel much like Rob . . . just sick. They just finished replacing most of the things they lost in Katrina.

    Stay safe. Sorry you don't have a happier homecoming Kevin.
