i realize i haven't posted in several days. mostly becuase i couldn't find words. i've gone through the whole gambut of emotions: fear as the storm went through, relief when i talked to cara who was lounging in bed watching the rain, panic as we didn't hear from my brother for several days, sadness to watch my fellow statesmen with nothing but their life, anger listening to the blame game from ivory towers when people are still hurting and lost. i don't think i've ever cried so much watching the news. i can't decide if i would be better off if i were closer. it's been tempting to load up the car and hit the road headed south.
but instead of heading south i just wait on instant messanger for any of my family to get online and talk to me. i can't tell you how many times i've listened to the operator tell me 'due to the hurricane in the area you are calling your call can not be completed'.
i've also tried to contact several of my friends and former students who i believe may have been effected. i've also scoured several message boards and websites just checking up on people. i'm so glad to hear from them or about them.
