Jeannie, purrs for your niece and her family. We did an art show around the
Woodlands a couple of years ago. Someone sure pissed off Mother Nature this
year. This storm surge is really nasty. Everyone, GET OUT. Head inland,
now! With your family, your pets, whatever papers you can carry. I can't
put anyone up here in my apartment but I'll find you a place to stay in
Memphis. Go, go, go!
