Hurricane Rita: A Learning Experience


 
Entertainment
It has been a while because I posted last. The job and personal commitments have kept me busy.

For the first time inside my life, I have to face a hurricane. This was a new experience for me, yet as in everything in life, you can learn from it.

Darla (my wife), Kristine (my daughter), Miss Ruby (my 86 year old mother in law), Olivia (Kristine's 2 1/2 month older Shishu) but left Deer Park, Texas at 6:00am about Thursday day. It took you six hours to get to the Great Southwest Equestrian Center in Katy. We walked Beltway 8, side paths, city streets, and eventually to Katy, where we quit for a toilet break.

Traffic was bumper to bumper, and keeping three cars together took the approach and planning which we discovered if you are teachers, coaches, and journalists for thus many years.

After which we headed for Interstate 10 and discovered that it is packed (as we knew it would). We took to the neighborhood paths and, as my father would have mentioned, went intothe sticks. You finally got to Brookshire and to the eastbound 10 where they had changed it to westbound.

It was unique to travel found on the opposite side of the road. All you could see was the buttocks of signs.

We appeared in Columbus regarding 5:00pm and headed south about US 71. Traffic was good till Smithville, and we were returning to bumper to bumper traffic to almost Austin.

We finally got to Austin at 9:00pm, checked into our hotel, and flopped into bed.

After two days of cutting lumber, boarding upwards the house, packing upwards as much as we could, and driving for 15 hours, we have never been thus tired in life.

It is amazing how adversity brings everyone together. Some your friends were also boarding upwards and annoying out. It was very gratifying to find you all assisting every other.

If someone required something, we were there for them, and they were there for all of us.

Darla, Kristine, and Ruby were actual troopers.Darla and Miss Ruby went by Carla plus the 60s and Miss Ruby went by Alicia in the 80s. They knew how to proceed, yet this was reasonably priced for Kristine and me.

Darla was the greatest. She had been by this before. You got together, set up a program, and got it performed. I knew Texas ladies were tough, and Darla showed what she could do in an emergency. I was constantly glad I married a Texas woman. My father informed me which marrying her was a good thing I ever did.

As parents, we have tried to increase our girl the greatest we could and she showed how fine we had performed. She was available, cutting lumber, hauling forest limbs off and doing whatever was necessary.

I informed her this might be a story for her grandchildren. She just smiled and kept working. I imagine all stuff we have tried to train her paid off. On the road, she forced without air conditioning all method to Austin in order to save gas. She did what she had to do to take care of her vehicle, her puppy, and everything she was hauling.

This has been an experience. We are going to learn for it, take care of everything you must, and ideally come though it in one piece.
