I am being evacuated - I think
 
The creek near my house is about to overflow due to swelling from the rain from the Tropical Storm that hit AL earlier today. A fire truck and several other ES vehicles are going up and down the streets and annoucing over the loudspeakers that we should "prepare to evacuate" :eek:

ShangriLaTroubl 07-06-2005 10:32 PM

Thanks!!!!!!

I am getting ready to make one bite the other's tail and vice versa - put them as such around my neck and then check into the Ritz Carlton :laugh: Seriously, I may go there, but the trucks are still here, but are no longer blasting out the "prepare to evacuate" warning and sirens are no longer goin off. OY VEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BombaySapphire3 07-06-2005 10:38 PM

Well I hope you guys are ok and don't get flooded out. My best friend lives down in Dublin Ga. midway between ATL and Savanah with a creek running through his back yard .I'll have to give him a call to see how he is doing.

golddustwoman77 07-06-2005 10:38 PM

Definitely leave if they tell you to do it! We had flooding here back in the spring, and someone died because he wouldn't leave his house. He was swept away along with his house. :distress: We have flood warnings here tonight as well. Believe me if they tell me to go, I'm gone.

Well, that's just it, they said be "prepared to evacuate" and then nothing more and the news is saying nothing about it nor can I find out on the net if Peachtree Creek is about to flood out the Peachtree Battle area. AARRGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

CreepingDeath 07-06-2005 10:43 PM

Yikes.

Good luck, Jason.

If its the fire department out there, then call the fire department to see what's going on. Be safe, Jason, I'm sorry this is happening! Keep your precious ones close. :angel:

GardenStateGirlie 07-06-2005 10:51 PM

Be safe, Jason! Cocktails at The Ritz during a storm...right up your ally ;)

That's right, because Jason wasn't just any Miss Georgia...he was THE Miss Georgia :laugh:

Somewhere in that walk-in closet of his is a green tafetta dress and ribbons for that pile of dark hair.

Again, you need to specify you mean head hair. Some of us don't want the image. :(

irishgrl 07-07-2005 06:57 AM

Since we havent heard from Jason in a bit, Im assuming he DID have to evacuate and he DIDNT remember his laptop :nod:

either that, or he went to sleep~ for shame! worrying us all half to death!

Sesly, Jason, I hope you're safe and sound (and your babies too) and drop us a line when you can :)

strandinthewind 07-07-2005 07:24 AM

Well, that was utter HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were evacuating people by BOAT about less than a mile from my house. So, I loaded the poops in the car and drove away around midnight. We were headed to the hotel, but by the time we got there, the National Weather Emergency Service (the ones with the obnoxious beep) came on and said the creek had crested and was expected to recede. Seeing as how the water was nowhere near the house when I left, I went to the 24 Kroger, bought ice cream an returned home - and with no electricity, I had to eat it all right then and there :laugh:

I drove through the recently flooded section this morning and the water appeared indeed to have gone into the homes and a bridge on a major street (Northside Dr.) apparantly was in danger of damage from the high and moving water. YIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!

And - another one is coming next week - oh what joy - thank goodness I and the sheeps will be out of town :cool:

Thanks to all the well wishers!!!!!!!!!!

ryan8472 07-07-2005 07:31 AM

Glad you're OK Jas. :nod: :)

My dad had to be evacuated from his beach-side home during Hurricane Gloria, and when they were finally allowed back, the house was full of water and sand. Even on the third floor. :eek: I'm glad you didn't have to go thru this!

skcin 07-07-2005 10:31 AM

Finally some good news today. Glad to hear all's well, Jason.

wondergirl9847 07-07-2005 11:03 AM

Yay!
 
Glad you are okay, Jason!! :D

darklinensuit 07-07-2005 01:25 PM

Glad you're okay. I had visions of you in an ark, trying to send up a Red Rocks dove that wouldn't leave your hand. :)
