The Family That Stayed For the Hurricane

So, my wife’s family decided to stick it out in a hotel in Houston instead of driving the extra 45 minutes and coming up to Bryan/College Station to stay with us. She called them about an hour ago and they have lost power, and are stuck in a hotel room. Three people and two large dogs, no power, no air conditioner, and 50+ mph winds blowing outside.

So the question is, why? We asked them to come up and stay with us. We knew Houston wasn’t the place to be for this huge hurricane! But, now all we can do is call and tell them how nice the air conditioning and TV updates are. I hope they are okay through the rest of the storm.

Anyway, I think this may be a lesson learned for them. Next time, they should come hang with us and the granddaughter. We’ll check back in with them later as long as the cell towers hold out in Houston.
