hurricane update:

"Everybody run!!" Is the theme of these past few days. Its either run, or drown.. Personally I'd rather run. Lafayette parish has a voluntary evacuation, so that means that we don't have to if we don't want to. Unless you live in a mobile home, then its mandatory. So my grandparents and great grandma (mom's side) live in Vermilion parish. Vermilion has a mandatory evac. too. They have to get out, and I would assume that they would come here, because we are the closest relatives outside of Vermillion parish. (Paw wasn't going to leave, unless it was mandatory anyways.) But here's the problemo-- We were going to go to my grandma's (dads side) tomorrow after church. After a good prayer for the hurricane to just dissapeer, and for no one else to get hurt. My grandma lives in Washington, which is a bit north of Opelousas, in St. Mary parish I believe. Her house is the family gathering place, we had a hurrican party last time for Rita. Its pretty amazing that the house didn't get damaged by the 20 trees sourrounding it (knock on wood).

So yeah..
I don't know what we're going to do now. Hopefully we'll get in contact with Paw in the morning. Otherwise I'm pretty much packed, well besides Greg obviously lol ^^

Theres the update, hope you enjoyed it.

Stay safe
