Our city remains under an emergency evacuation and we still cannot return. We are able to continue staying at this retreat center, but the new dilemma is that I am supposed to fly out of Houston tomorrow (9/17) to a conference in Anaheim, California for my job. We are 10-12 hours away from Houston at this point, but the airline (never fly US Airways!!!!!) has been entirely less than helpful and will not adjust my flight to a closer airport without astronomical fees. So, we are scrambling to figure out where we could stay overnight in Houston. There are very few hotels with vacancies and the ones we are finding don’t have water or you can’t call b/ c the phones are down. Frustrating! We will find some way to get me to the airport and then Jermale might have to go 5 hours away to Dallas or something. I will be back on Friday (9/19) and we will go from there.
The storm blew through Arkansas on Sat. night with 55mph winds and it was still really scary even though it was only a tropical storm at that point. Port Arthur is still without power and sewer services, but thankfully the actual damage is minimal. Praise God! I had a break down the other day, but am doing better now. Jermale has been really great through all this and helps keep me calm. Stay tuned...
