@shell garden......are you having to evacuate?????  Just heard on the news that many in SC are.....stay safe dear.....

@ShowMe...NI, sweetie!  I am inland!  However in my area and over the river in Augusta, GA....All hotels are booked from people already today from the Charleston, SC, and coastal area as well as the Georgia coast!  And there are ALOT of hotels in this area!

All schools are even closed here the rest of the week so that evacuees who do not have a place to stay can stay in our schools and will have the Red Cross Manning the lunchrooms for meals!

They have also opened up the fairgrounds here to house animals!  That is so wonderful!  Our area fair does not start until about 10 days from now and the city of Augusta will open up the area to house evacuees pets!  I am so glad they are doing this....as well as some animal shelters here on standby for assistance!

We are receiving evacuees with open arms and we will take care of all who wish to stay in our area!.  Like I said, the hotels are already full and schools are now opened!  

Thank you for asking...we should only get a little rain since we are way inland!  But will keep you posted!!! 💕

My father was the same way...even rode out Katrina...he had no idea the devastation around him. When his electric went out he then chose to come stay with us. I could not reason with him. He still did not know how bad it was until he reached our home and saw how horrible it all was while watching TV from our home.

I hope she will be safe loveschocolate.

@croemer...Hi suga buga!  Oh yes, Katrina was one of the worst!  At least your dad finally came to stay with you after the electricity went out!  It is scary!

@croemer@shell garden, will keep you posted. Kinda makes me mad. 😡

[croemer]

Yes he stayed 6 weeks...and was planted in front of the TV...one of the only times I saw him tear up in my life...I felt just terrible for him. He then went back against our judgement and had months of standing in line at the grocery store. They only allowed so many shoppers in the store at a time. I wish he had stayed with us.

You stay safe Shell!

@shell garden......you hit the nail on the head.  I am feeding my face.....not suffing......but that's ok......LOL

Yes, I did read what you had posted.  Thanks for the info.  Glad you are safe.....  Cannot comprehend what some of those folks are going through.  Know I couldn't do it.  It is wonderful that the pets will be taken care of.

@croemer......that must have been very painful for him to watch.....and then once he got back to his home he had to stand in line to get into the grocery store.  Yes, it would have been better for him to have stayed with you.  At least you would have taken care of him.

Broke my heart to see him so sad. I did have the pleasure of taking care of him when he became so ill in 2008...I loved having him here.
