I had one last Friday. It was, like, as big as my head!

Nic called me this afternoon from Florida to warn me that there had better be some water-buying and plywood-preparation. I calmly told her we're a good two, 2 1/2 hours inland from the TX coast, and she said that a Category 5 hurricane should not be sniffed at or made fun of. And, she said, it's big. And it has a lot of rain associated with it.

That is so cute. Love you, Nicole. We'll get some rain, maybe some flooding. But praise God, we found a house on a hill, so endoxi (Greek for "it's all good").

Watching CNN now. Wow. That is a big storm. The third most powerful storm yet measured.

Maybe we'll run to the store quick and pick up some necessities.
