Friday afternoon the hurricane has reached category 5 and is on it's way to the east Texas coast. I spend some time on the phone with my brother who had chosen to stay behind. I was quite worried that the storm surge would flood his one-story home and told him to be prepared. He wasn't worried at all and told me that a friend of his was going to come over and watch a movie with him while the storm moved in. If it wasn't for my animals, I would have stayed with him. He was there in danger's way and was quite calm, I was was well out of the way of the storm and was quite worried... worried that I couldn't do anything if my brother got in trouble.
