"Honestly it was more of a media event then and an actual disaster by any means. The evacuation was huge but there was not much effect from the category 1 storm. (thank God) No reason to tell Renny. " Well, it is a major thing if it is happening to you and the storm was a Category 2 coming ashore. I think Renny should have the opportunity to know her family is fine. There has been major damages to New Orleans and 1.5 million are without power. Try living on the Gulf Coast without A/C; we had to evacuate for hurrican Rita and we were out of our homes for almost 3 weeks with $18,000 worth of wind damage to our home. We tried staying in our home one night after the hurricane and we nearly melted in the 90 to 95 degree heat with 90% humidity. Though the levees held during the storm there is plenty of wind damage and NOLA and the surrounding areas will be recovering for sometime! Just saying; been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt!

Magnolia is about 45 minutes north of Houston near The Woodlands and Conroe. I am sure Jerry's adult children will care for his wife. That is part of living in this area to make sure where your family will be during a storm. We will start evacuation at 6 AM. We live on the border of Texas and Louisiana. I really feel like it will come ashore in LA, but the emergency management of the county wants to make sure there is not another situation like Katrina. We had to evacuate 3 years ago with Rita which was a forgotten hurricane because it happened about 2 to 3 weeks after Katrina and it was a much stronger hurricane but not as much flooding as Katrina, but tons of wind damage.
