As most of you know, there's a hurricane coming our way. It's a strong category 5 hurricane. The max I've seen with this storm was 190mph. It might have went down but it's still a cat 5.
I'm in Houston right now.

New Orleans is totally fucked. We're already below sea level and the landscape is like a bowl.

I hope we have a home to go home to...

Those jacked in the Matrix, do the rang-rang dance for me haha.

Oh man this whole event was an emotional rollercoaster.
There were rumors that something happened to my uncle and his family right after we came into town to get out parents out. From what we saw on the news, the city wasn't exactly safe at the time. We had guns in each car just in case (we took 2 cars; mine and my bro's girlfriend's car).

Anyway, that rumor was squashed after my uncle from California got into contact with him. My WHOLE family from both sides knew about it within like 15 minutes. It was crazy. We couldn't find the source of the rumor. Personally, I heard from my little sister who heard from her friend. So rest assured, my uncle is ok and well.

There was a friend of mine who we couldn't get into contact with. She was one of the few that stayed back in town during the storm. I honestly prayed and hoped all week. I totally broke down one night. A week goes by and still can't get into contact because the phone lines are screwed up. Text messenging works but she was the only one who didn't respond.
I was talking to a friend today online and she tells me that a friend just received an email from her and that she's in Houston. A few seconds later, I get a phone call from her! Can you believe it? A phone call! So I talk to her and see how she's doing. She's ok so that's a relief. She's been stuck in the Convention Center for a couple of days. If you guys haven't been watching the news, the conditions were just as bad as it was in the Superdome. I'm glad she made it out of there.

So all of my friends are accounted for. Now I can sleep a little better.
New Orleans on the other hand... I hope it'll turn out OK. I honestly want to go back to town.
Where else can you party even after the sun comes up.
