The Wait for the storm.

This has been a long weekend. Not because of the kids being sick, but because of the storm.
I think this is the first time since Gil and My brother Dean Were deployed that i have been glued to Fox News. We had been back and fourth on the phone with Gils Parents before the storm trying to figure out where they were going to go. Then they said they would be in contact with us.
So we have been watching and waiting. It seemed like this weekend had taken forever. Last night we even slept with the tv on.
Watching the news was hard today. There was a news report that showed a house down the street from my Inlaws. We have watched that house for nearly two years now being built. It was a slow build. It is a beautiful house. On the news report it showed that water creaping up under the Elevated house. Thats when it hit us. Reality was at that point that the trail was under water. That the storage sheds where washed away. It was horrible. Just thinking about everything that they have collected over the past few years. It was all they had in the world. Now its gone. I can not imagine.
So we just got a call from His mom telling us that it was confirmed that the trailer was gone. She said that a friend of the family had a read trailer. Like a double wide and the water went to the top of that trailer home. So you knew that since the fema trailer was smaller that a trailer home that it was gone. The water they know was atleast 12 feet high. I guess all they took from the fema trailer was electronics. That means all the rest is gone. They will go back tomorrow to see how far they can go to check it out. I will up date. then . Lets pray that the water did not get into their new home they were building.
