Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive August 2005: Evacuation
We have been under mandatory evacuation since early this morning. We have reservations in Memphis, TN. What we are going to do is wait until the late advisory tonight, or the one in the wee hours of the morning and make our decision. If the hurricane is still tracking towards New Orleans, we are outta here @ 4:00 AM Sunday!
Oh, Karen! Good luck and be safe. I'll be praying for you!
Keep safe! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted if you can.
Oh, Karen, I hope everything is ok!! Stay safe!
OOPS! I didn't mean to make that anon!! It was me **blush**
UGH! Now the Weather Channel is advising people evacuating from New Orleans NOT to go north, they say *go west*. Well, that's all fine and good, but there are no rooms available in western LA and in TX!!!
Karen, we are in Beaumont, Texas and you are right. Available rooms are few and far between. I did check in Silsbee for you (15 miles from Beaumont) and they had rooms but were not making reservations, first come first serve.
Karen, you are welcome to come stay with us LITERALLY. We have air mattresses and couches and plenty of room. Just got back from loading up on water, peanut butter, bread, crackers, and matches. I am quite serious in my offer. Email me if you need my phone number pamela dot terrell at gmail.com. Of course we are still in the "cone" but on the west side which isn't nearly so bad. Our welcome mat is out. The more the merrier!
Karen, whether you end up evacuating or not, please be safe and know we'll be thinking of you.
Stay safe, Karen.
Ya all are in my thoughts... Big hugs and stay safe.
Please don't wait to long to leave.
Karen - you are welcome to come to MS and stay with us.. We are in the path as well so I don't know how much better off you would be.. But I bet we would have LOTS OF FUN!!
Bah. Just drive to my house
Good luck! Will be keeping you in my prayers!
Good luck hope all goes well!
Thanks for the offer Pam, but I don't think you'd appreciate my 70 lb. HAIRY dog! LOL
Be safe, Karen!!!!
Hope you have a safe trip Karen. We're going to stay here and hunker down. DH had to run to Home Depot to pick up something random and he took a picture of the people sitting in chairs waiting for a new shipment of generators to arrive. I bought the 4th to last loaf of bread at the grocery today. Yikes!! At least I'm thinking the boys won't have school on Monday and that will be cool. Check in if you can and I'll try to keep you updated on what's going on here...if we keep our power.
All you ladies in the path of the big blow, please be careful and good luck
I can't sleep. I slept for 2 hours. I am scared to death, scared to stay and scared to go. It's a Cat 4, 145 MPH winds, projected to be a Cat 5 upon landfall, and still heading this way.
If there was ever a time I wished for a mommy-van, this is it.
Annie, what are you doing? We are right on that fine line and I think I am taking the kids to Jax. Ivan curved right at the last minute and this storm is so darn BIG. If we stay and it forges even a little to the right, plus we are in the right quad of such a large, forceful storm...I'd rather be made fun of for leaving. I think this one is going to be catastrophic.
Good luck everyone!
Oh my. Did you have to go? Hope everyone is well.
Karen, sending hugs today. That first birthday is so hard not to mention the stress of a hurricane!
Well, my college classes are cancelled for tomorrow. I'm sure kids' school will be cancelled as well. Just waiting on the official word. There's a big meeting at 10 am to decide about closures. I haven't been out on the roads since yesterday afternoon, but DH says traffic is horrible!!
{{{Karen}}} and everyone in the storms path, {{{big hugs}}} and hope you are all at a safe place.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in the path of this one.
Karen, praying you are safe and your home is undamaged.
Karen, you remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Wow. I can't imagine being in the path of a hurricane! Good luck, everyone!
More {{{HUGS}}} and prayers!
After seeing what Ivan did to our town last year- God Bless ya'll.
Many, many prayers for those of you in Katrina's path.
Thinking about all of you. It sounds like it is going to be a bad one. Check back in with us as soon as you can when it is all over!!
We live about 45 miles NW of Biloxi so we are scared to death as well. We want to leave but no where to go.. I guess we will try to ride it out as well.. Please remember us as well..
Holy cow, this is a bad hurricane!! Hope everyone gets out while you can.
I remember Camille and this one is following the same path! Praying for all in her path.
Thinking of you Karen, and everyone else in the path of the storm. Please let us know when you can that you are all ok. Please be safe. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
(((Everyone in the path of the hurricane)))
{{HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOU}} !!!! You are in our thoughts constantly...
We left this morning from Plaquemines Parish (almost as south as you can get in Louisiana) at 4 am and are headed out to my sisters a little more west. The roads were very crowded but traffic was moving. My SUV was packed with photos, important papers, dog, kid...the important stuff. It's hard to decide what to leave behind but hopefully we will all be safe and that's all that matters. It's still hard to leave all the stuff and the peace of your own home.
Thoughts & prayers go out to all of you in the path of this hurricane.
Jeanne, how far west? As you guys can tell, I made it to Memphis!!!! 8 hours, which wasn't bad, considering.....
Watching the news and practically biting my nails and I live in Oregon, I dont know how you guys handle this. Prayers for all of you and please try to be safe. God bless.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in this storms path. It is gigantic and will pose problems months from now for the land it will hit.
Saying a prayer that all of you will be safe!
I'm watching the news right now.
Glad to hear you made it to you motel safe and sound. Hopefully your house will be fine too.

I can't even take my pictures with me. If I had a van, or even a truck, I could pack it full.
