So Dad had to evacuate. Well, didn't "have to" but the dividing line is about 2 miles from his house so they decided to go. They left yesterday and traveled up to Tampa. Normally this would only be about 2.5 hours but it took over 5 hours! This doesn't get them too far but at least they're out of South Florida and hopefully far north enough that the storm will come to the south of where they are. If they need to continue further north at least they'll have a jump on driving from home like other people who haven't left. They can only stay in that hotel until Sunday and then they need to check out and now they're saying the storm might not hit until Tuesday. Apparently there are no hotel rooms in Tampa so they'll either have to get in the car and head north with as of now, no place to go, or crash in on Scotty in his 1 bedroom apartment. According to the storm surge maps I found all they need is a direct hit from a Category 2 and the storm surge will be enough that their house will be flooded. They packed winter clothes in case their house is destroyed they'll just head up here. They could be here next week, which will be fine by me because...
Chris is going to Montreal again on Monday. For two weeks. He keeps saying its only one week but I'm mentally preparing for the worst. He's driving so he can come home for the remaining soccer games. But he'll miss the last practice, my birthday and if he is gone 2 weeks he'll miss Joshy's 1st real Halloween. Of the 2 other candidates that could have gone one had a death in the family and the other's wife is having surgery for cancer. I guess my little birthday is no big deal in comparison but I am so stressed about being pregnant and taking care of 2 children while my husband is out of the country!
