Did they not have both sides of the freeway going toward Dallas?

I'm crossing my fingers that you guys stay safe.

I am going to light a candle for you, your family and the pets. I hope all of you remain safe and comfortable.

Thank you both. I'll try to stay on as long as we have power.

I wanted to do a little "I'm-not-a-witch"craft today, and spray paint Stevie lyrics on the hurricane shutters. But it was too windy. Oh yeah, and my Dad said, "HELL NO!!!"

But it would have said:

"Heartless challenge
Pick path and I'll pray..."

She's a woman for all occasions.

OMG.

Chuck that is awful. I am glad to hear you and the birds are home safe. Poor little Zorro ! He must be a tough little guy. Give the birds some scratches for me, and yourself a big pat on the back for making it !

Thanks man. Scratching and patting in progress. Zorro had flown over an landed on me every 10 minutes or so since I let them out to play. He normally does that once or twice a week, if I'm lucky.

I was glad I thought to bring a spray bottle. After he passed out, I would lightly mist him with water. Then, he would get up, climb back to his fave perch, shake it off, and start singing! Tough little guy indeed.

Oh crap - be back in a few - have to go cry a little. Too hard to hold it in any more.

Aw, you guys will be fine, sweetie. With all of the good thoughts being sent your way by all of us, it should be a guarantee. Do you guys have a basement and all the supplies that might be needed?

I'll say a prayer that you and all of your loved ones are safe, Nixxxed!

We're in a 2 story house, so we're ok for moderate flooding. And we left everything packed, just in case. All our food, water, supplies are in boxes on the kitchen table, ready to go upstairs or in the truck, depending on which situation we're faced with.

Luckily, most tornoadoes occur on the east side of a storm. It's still possible I guess, but we have several hallways on the bottom floor that completely close off.

OMG, what an awful ordeal. For you and your whole family, and I'm guessing too many others like you. I hope you make it through alright. Be safe and well...
