Waiting Game
I am playing a waiting game of watching the weather, and ready to go if I have to. I don’t want to go and if current projections hold out I should be ok. I still have time to make up my mind but at this point it is too early for me to make a decision. I have taken care of the housr on Prytania St. got my laundry done, picked up needed supplies. (except batteries ). I have a bunch of rechageable that are charged I just don’t know where I put them when I moved. The neighbors in the old neighborhood and my next door neighbor in my new neighborhood are staying or haven’t made up their minds. If I have to go I have a full tank of gas and know the hassle it might be to get out at the last minute. I am willing to deal with it. For the first time in years I am facing a possible hurricane hit being only resposible for myself. It makes a big difference in the anxiety level.
As I drove to the other house this morning there were quite a few people who live on Tchoupitoulas St who were packing their cars and leaving. The assisted evacuations are taking place across the Metro area. Is it an over reaction? I don’t think so no one wants a bunch of stranded people in the city. Cell phone craziness has already started, I was talking to a friend who has evacuated to Hammond to be with her daughters. While speaking to her I wound up on a conversation with two other cell users. It was kind of funny they were surprised and said who are you? I replied who are you? I will post later on what I do, right now I am hanging tight. I have seen too many of these far away projections change over time. I am in a position where I don’t have to make up my mind yet. I am prepared for multiple scenarios.
