Eye of the Storm

Tropical Storm Edourad has formed overnight in the Gulf of Mexico and is heading toward Houston. Worse case scenerio is for it to hit as a Catagory One hurricane. Aside from having a STOOPID sounding name, Edouard is also greatly inconveniencing Sonny the Pug, as he likes to know well in advance when to expect a power outage. We fat, surly types like to make plans to be somewhere with airconditioning at all times. Its how we roll.

Since our office is closing early to allow us to prepare for the storm, I will take the opportunity to go by the grocery store and buy ice, candy bars and booze. Oh, and doggy treats. However, if we loose power, Sonny the Pug and I will be evacuating to the closest area that has electricity. Even if this means sleeping in the car with the A/C going.

In my heart I know this storm SHOULDN'T be strong enough to result in any serious destruction. However, I am irony's bitch, and the gravity of the situation would not be lost on me if a Edouard launched a large palm tree through our roof of our house, thus resulting in ANOTHER gaping hole in the ceiling. Let us all pray it stops with the much needed rain, no one sweating their balls off and the Pug family NOT having to file an insurance claim.
