If you would possibly be able to or could do something please call/text 985 285 6469. AGAIN I REALLY HATE ASKING LIKE THIS. But Im getting a bit worried, it blew up WAYY exceeding what we figured.
If you can drive up to northeastern louisiana I will find you and your friend somewhere to stay!

of course nederland isd has to be the one school district that wont cancel until the last second. i see a pattern.


low, theres a number floating around somewhere if you need a shelter. alot of my friends are just fillin the tank up and drivin around the storm, and waiting it out that way. id hate for that to be your last option but thats all i can offer. if i was close i'd have a hot meal and helping hand but unfortunately i dont

Ya, alot of people that were going to stay decided at the last minute changed their minds. I just got caught late. I have a place I can go but its closer towards the track of the storm.

We shall see what happens, it may be late tomorrow before I can (MAYBE) get out of here.

Id love to get vids for yall if I stayed but no camera...
