I have finally convinced my dad to leave, so thank you for the suggestions- they worked. I know when all is over and our house is okay he will say "I told you so" but that is A-okay with me. It is far better than the alternative.
I am so sad. I keep thinking about what if my house isn't there on Sunday. This is the house I grew up in. And of course I am so thankful to God that he has made a way for my family to be okay, but it is so sad and disheartening to think that all of my childhood memories may be washed/blown away. I cannot even comprehend a cat 5 storm. Alecia was only a 3 and TS Allison was just a TS and I know first hand the harm they caused.
I went to a church day school for 7 years of elementary. In 2001 the church part was leveled due to a tornado produced by Allison. That also happens to be the church where my grandfather was funeralized and I get so sad when I drive by and see the school...and land- no church. I keep wondering if that is how I would feel if the same happens to my house- except when I wonder about seeing a plot where my house used to be the sadness is much more profound.
I am staying prayerful- for everyone's safety and everyone's sanity- God is powerful and so are His creations.
