My name is Debutaunt and I'm a stormaphobic.
Yes, that's right. I hate storms of any kind. I dream of tornados. Often. I have nearly been hit by lightening before. I am big time afraid of the dark.
So now we "may" have this big ass hurricane heading our way. I have been through quite a few, but this is the first one that I will weather out alone. Well me and Zoester, but to me, that's mostly alone. I have to be the adult.
I've always had my parents to guide me or my ex-husband to hang with. Not that I think I will do something stupid, or that we will be affected much (I live pretty far inland), but I don't like thunder or lightening and I live right next to a big ass drainage ditch (one that *knock on wood* to date has not flooded in 3 years), but this is kind of spooky.
I'd go stay with my sisters at their casas, but one has a wall of floor to ceiling windows surrounded by big ol' trees, and the other has lots of big ol' trees.
Dad told me to come home if they did a full on evacuation, but I hate driving to San Antonio. I might head to Austin if I had to go somewhere.
I hate storms. Hate 'em.
I'm skeered!! I want someone to hold my hand. I'm a big ol titty baby like that.
Posted by debutaunt at September 20, 2005 04:17 PMI just don't want power outages. I'm not scared of the hurricane, though being on the 3rd floor in tree land has its disadvantages.
We're currently debating what to do.

I don't have Christopher this weekend so you guys could take over his room. PS - if you go to the grocery store be prepared to stand in long lines - took me two hours yesterday to buy just a couple of things and they were rationing water with one case of bottled water per household.
