Right now I have two main feelings.
1) super glad that I woke up to find out the hurricane moved over and didn’t hit Houston.
2) concern for those that did not. For those the hurricane did hit.
Being born and raised in Houston means having seen hurricanes all my life. They don’t surprise me. I get that they are part of the deal where I live. I tend to stay very calm about them. But staying calm doesn’t mean I’m ok with them. I don’t want to have to prepare and do hurricane prep. I don’t want to be stuck in my home or have no power. I just don’t let my brain go to the super afraid place. Which honestly isn’t easy.
Right now there is so much distraction from Laura. I’m seeing pics of what my home town looked like just three years ago. Because of course Laura came on the anniversary of Harvey. And my heart goes out to everyone having to deal with this right now. I hope you know you are in my prayers. The coast of Texas and Louisiana know how to deal with with hurricanes. But knowing how doesn’t take the emotions out of watching your city get destroyed. My heart hurts for all those that now have to deal with this mess. ?
