 hit by the eye on the coast!!!
Hi all,I just posted on another thread & saw this one later, just copy & past on this one.
I live in Bourg, LA 12 miles from the coast & 2 miles from Houma, LA.
Yes the eye of the Hurricane hit us.
We evacuated to a Caddo Lake Cabin in Uncertain, Texas. (west of Shreveport, LA) with 5 Yorkies & Lexi is pregnant and is due on the 14th in one week.
Hurricane Ike is heading straight for us now!!!
We got home yesterday to No Electricity, No Running Water, No Sewage & No Phone service & Barely Cell Phone service!!!
We now have everything back but Electricity - Rumors are 3 weeks or more!!!
We are trying our best to not crack under pressure. This has to be the most stressful time of my life worring about Lexi in her last 2 weeks of pregnancy.
Stormy & Kylee have been fighting like cats & dogs since we left a week ago.
The 3 youngest get car sick - my Vet recommended no food or water 10 hrs before leaving & give them Benidryl. only one vomited on the way to Texas.
We had to bring Lexi to Marshall Animal Hospital Friday for her X-rays - 5 puppies - he said she should not have a problem with the pups sizes.
Our Home weather the Hurricane very well. We lost shingles, facia board, vinyl boxing, parts of our wooden fence, 2 trees, parts of the swimming pool deck.
The house was suppossed to be going on the Real Estate market last week - so we can start building our new house. OH Well - more delays!!! |
