A               home               we               loved               from               the               first               minute               we               saw               it.

Families               where               loading               their               carts               with               charcoal               and               lighter               fluid,               bags               of               ice               and               very               little               water               was               available               for               purchase.

               What               do               people               purchase               to               prepare?

Everyone               should               have               candles,               batteries,               dried               or               packaged               foods               like               granola,               raisins,               peanuts,               peanut               butter               and               jelly               as               well               as               canned               meats               are               good               foods               for               preparation.

Water,               approximately               3               gallons               per               person               in               the               household.

Be               sure               to               go               ahead               and               stock               up               on               diapers,               as               you               don't               know               what               the               shelves               will               be               live               after               the               storm.

You               can               always               lose               them               later.

Fresh               fruits               and               other               raw               foods               like               celery               or               carrots,               don't               need               to               be               kept               cool               but               are               good               for               nutrition.

A               generator               is               a               plus,               but               most               people               do               not               have               one               as               they               can               be               very               expensive.

One               family               I               know               actually               has               three               of               them,               so               that               they               can               have               enough               power               to               keep               the               fridge               running               and               some               fans               for               cooling.

It's               important               to               have               a               waterproof               box               to               keep               all               your               important               documents               in               and               a               safe               room               in               the               house               to               wait               out               the               storm.
               The               supplies               are               purchased               and               my               husband               arrives               home.

We               go               through               our               normal               evening               routine,               and               as               the               news               worsens               we               decide               to               evacuate.

As               I               frantically               wash               laundry               to               pack               and               begin               packing               I               wonder               what               exactly               I               should               take               with               me.

Seeing               the               hustle               and               bustle,               I               explain               to               my               daughters               that               we               are               going               on               an               adventure,               a               trip,               and               we               will               go               out               to               eat               and               to               a               museum               and               swim               in               the               hotel               pool.

"What               about               Jack?"               they               ask               of               our               West               Highland               White               Terrier.

They               are               thrilled               to               learn               that               we               get               to               take               Jack               on               our               trip.

What               fun               for               them.

I               stay               up               late               last               night               watching               the               Weather               Channel,               and               around               midnight               finish               my               packing               and               begin               the               wait               for               the               morning               for               us               to               leave.

Unable               to               sleep,               I               think               about               what               it               must               say               about               me,               when               I               think               of               the               things               we               brought               with               us.
               What               do               you               take               when               you               are               leaving               your               home,               one               which               may               be               seriously               damaged               when               you               return,               but               you               pray               it               won't.

Our               family               packed               one               suitcase               with               the               children's               very               favorite               books               and               toys.

We               took               clothes               and               personal               items,               some               medicines.

               As               we               leave               this               morning,               I               see               stores,               homes               and               offices               boarded               up.

As               we               drive               past               an               Office               Depot               the               boarded               windows               signify               that               this               just               isn't               the               weekend               get               away               that               we               tell               our               children               it               is,               but               something               much               more               serious               and               frightening.

Signs               on               store               and               restaurants,               even               the               local               Blockbuster               indicate               early               closings.

Houses               in               my               neighborhood,               had               many               that               were               boarded               up,               others               had               extra               cars               in               the               driveway,               with               cars               on               the               street               too.

It               appears               that               Katy,               is               somewhere               that               those               from               Galveston               may               evacuate               to.

I               speak               to               my               neighbor,               letting               her               know               we               are               leaving,               as               well               as               inform               other               neighbors,               friends               and               our               neighborhood               watch               captain.
               Five               hours               later               we               arrive               in               Dallas.

The               drive               here               was               uneventful.

No               long               lines               of               waiting,               bumper               to               bumper               cars.

But               at               every               rest               area,               every               picnic               area               families,               sometimes               two               or               three               or               more               cars               caravan               are               parked               to               stretch               their               legs               and               have               a               bite               to               eat.

The               backs               of               cars,               vans               and               trucks               are               filled               with               dogs               kennels,               coolers,               extra               cans               of               gas,               women               are               walking               into               the               ladies               room               with               their               own               toilet               paper.

As               we               arrive               in               Dallas,               the               check               in               desk               asked               if               we               have               a               pet.

Apparently               everyone               has               a               pet               here               tonight,               the               elevators               are               full,               the               lobby               has               families               playing               games,               even               a               poker               tournament               is               going               on.

As               we               carry               in               groceries,               just               about               every               family               is               carting               a               case               or               6               pack               of               beer.

One               couple               remark               to               me,               "You               can               tell               the               evacuees,               we               are               all               carrying               beer."
               It's               sad               though.

As               I               stand               at               the               bar,               getting               much               needed               caffeine               in               the               form               of               Coke               (OK,               let's               be               honest               the               Jack               Daniels               is               back               in               the               room)               a               group               of               men,               apparently               not               not               evacuees,               make               jokes               about               the               Hurricane               to               come.

"               As               tears               fill               my               eyes,               I               want               to               scream,               "Hey               that's               my               home               there               you               creeps!"               I               sit               here               now,               trying               my               best               to               occupy               two               small               children               in               a               hotel               room,               anxiously               awaiting               the               events               of               the               evening               and               hoping               the               my               family               and               many               others               will               be               spared               damages               to               their               homes,               their               lives               and               their               families.
               To               my               friends               in               Houston,               I               pray               for               you               tonight.

I               hope               that               you               will               be               safe               and               sound.

Sunday               when               I               return,               I               will               join               many               of               them               at               prayer               services               in               our               neighborhood               to               thank               God               for               his               goodness,               or               pray               for               the               strength               the               begin               the               repairs               and               rebuilding.

As               tired               as               I               am               from               packing               and               leaving,               I               know               that               I               will               not               sleep               until               the               storm               passes.
