i tried to text you from work today about this. so what about bus or plane? do you guys have the weekend off? maybe you should just go somewhere for a few days until you know where it's going.
if you need money or anything, let me know. i think dad has an account at my bank, and if so i can just directly transfer it to you.
I just talked to somebody at work, and the surveillance room will have to remain staffed through the storm. I may volunteer, in which case they'll put me up in the hotel, and just have me stay in the "bunker" the rest of the time. Dad will probably go to a shelter until the storm passes.
ok, dude, really? don't volunteer. don't have dad stay in a shelter. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. i do not want to have to see you guys on CNN stranded on a piece of the I-10 somewhere.
seriously, don't be a hero. don't fuck around with this. find a way to get out and if you can't then goddamn it let me know and i'll figure out a way to get you out.
what do you have to lose? the worst case scenario is that the storm doesn't hit and you left town for nothing for a couple of days. best case scenario is that you're not trapped in the city or worse, in a car that breaks down in the middle of contraflow traffic.
Right now, the best thing to do is not to panic or jump to conclusions, which you seem to be doing a lot of. This thing is still twelve hundred miles away; I'd rather wait and make an informed decision.
Meanwhile, Nagin is on TV wyling the fuck out about how it's gonna make a direct hit and it's gonna be worse than Katrina and everybody needs to get the fuck out (the national weather service has made no such predictions,) mainly because he fucked things up so royally last time around and this time he's looking to cover his ass. The general consensus among the experts here is "wait and see".
And frankly, the Harrah's hotel is one of the safest places to be, as it's built to withstand a cat. 5, has its own generator, and abundant food and drinking water. Not to mention being swank as fuck.
