[AGL] Fwd: DREADING THE STORM

[Connie Clark]

Michael,
Of course we are staying put.  We are not in flood prone area, nor are we in a storm surge area, so don't need to evacuate.  
 
Latest information shows us to be on the dry side of the storm as well.  Having grown up on the Texas Gulf Coast, I have sat out a number of hurricanes, and remember the darkness, candles, portable radio and the front door slamming around on its hinges.  
 
Wouldn't miss it. 
 
Connie

With a 35 foot storm tide coming in 52 miles it would still be 14 foot below 
my front door. I just got a recorded call from Carol Alveraze, my council 
woman, stating I should leave because I'm in a flood plain. This is all 
political posturing and communication practice for the coming Apocalypse 
which Homeland Security has been told to expect by W and the Christian Right 
wing.

I am scared shitless of flying, out of gas, cars and vans left on the 
freeway and the hyped up, mad looters who abandoned them combing through my 
mansion. My shot gun is ready and my new water wings from Oshmans warehouse 
store are close, I bought three pair to handle my size and they are good for 
grand kids birthday presents if unused.

FEMA should have painted the freeways red, laid out gas cans, and had the 
evacuations at night to use less gas running the air conditioners. Maybe 
I'll run for office if Loving will run the campaign. And thanks for the 
advice Roger, I've decided to be more courteous if I'm going to consider 
politics.

If I were you Clark, I would think about getting your guest to help
you move your good stuff up to the second floor. I fear flooding the
most.

One of my biggest mistakes has been to be a junk collector and not to
have realized earlier that the best way to save stuff is to put it in
those $8 big 66 quart sealed plastic containers from Target and stack
them high. If there is a foot of water or even more, your papers and
best stuff remain safe. -- Roger

I'm living in mortal fear, only two blocks from Brays Bijou and
five blocks from the ship channel. If water gets to my door Connie
and downtown Houston will be under ten feet. But I do have two
forty gallon water heaters for water, 32 lb. of T bones, gallons of
wine, kilos of mexican coffee with a full 1.75 l of Irish cream,
and a lot more shit (praise the lord). I'm even benevolent enough
to have a Galveston fellow, who owns and lives on the boat two
slips down from my boat slip, staying here just following Governor
Goodhair's reassuring radio comments.
