As much as I do enjoy watching hurricane coverage, this one looks nasty. my prayers and thoughts are with those on the Texas coast and i hope everyone stays safe!

i think what surprises me is that so many dont evacuate....man i would have been out of there no later then wednesday! money is no object for safety! and i can say that considering i live in a flood zone that is beneath a VOLCANO :) so one day it could be our area that has the disaster and as soon as our mountain makes any rumble... yup i am outta here! so i guess i dont get why people would want to stay in an area that is going to flood, why risk it?

and dont even get me started on the people that go down to the beach for the fun of it to see the storm come in! argggg and this is coming from a photographer who "gets" wanting to see the action and recording it! but not worth the risk!

i am sure this is my pregnancy hormones, but i have spent all morning watching all the news networks and i cry everytime i think of someone not leaving and getting to safety.....

again i hope everyone is safe and/or that it isnt as bad as they are saying it could/will be!
