Safe and Sound

I can't fucking believe it.
I'm home and I have a home to come back to.

When we fled the Gulf Coast because a monster hurricane was on it's way, eyeing my hometown, I left knowing I might never return or if I did, I would return to matchsticks instead of buildings.

The evacuation was a nightmare. An absolute nightmare but the return home was mostly a breeze. We went against the iron fist of the law and got in our cars and returned to town.
Screw them. They're the ones who told us to get out and then left us stranded on highways for 20 hrs.
Anyway, I have lots to blog about but I'm dead meat right now.

Thanks to 'SkarTisu' for keeping my blog up to date and for calling and checking on me and comforting me when I was approaching the beautiful state of hysteria.

I'll blog more later.

De, glad things turned out well for you. Was thinking about you this past week...hoping for the best. Glad to hear everything and your family came out on the UP side of it all.

Glad you're OK, De. Don't be pissed though about leaving and coming back to non destruction! I know you're really not. At the very least it was anti-climactic, wasn't it?

I was thinking about you all weekend, and I'm so happy to hear you're safe. :)
