Hurricane Rita - News From Gabe Nicholson


It seems that as of now, Gabe's still in Houston, finishing up prepping his house for damage prevention. His family has made it to Austin on high ground.

Here's a script from our IM:

Quote:
Screamer2112 [3:19 P.M.]: Hi Gabe, Scott (screamjem7) from jemsite here. Just checking in to see how you're holding up down in TX? Hope things are well so far.

Jemfest USA [3:27 P.M.]: hey there Scott. Everything is fine here thanks for thinking about me. My wife and daughter made it to Austin but I tried to get out there this morning but traffic prevented me from doing so.

Screamer2112 [3:28 P.M.]: I'm glad things are OK

Jemfest USA [3:29 P.M.]: I boarded up the north side of the house and moved everthing to the inside area of the house

Screamer2112 [3:30 P.M.]: The bus fire was tragic during the traffic jam last night.

Jemfest USA [3:30 P.M.]: Yeah that's horrible. I heard about that on the radio when I was on the road

Screamer2112 [3:32 P.M.]: OK, I won't take anymore of your time and I'll pass along the word that you're fine over at the Vai and jemsite boards. Stay safe bro.

Jemfest USA [3:33 P.M.]: Thanks Scott. Take care
I'll be praying for everyone in the path of the storm.

Thanks Scott for your thoughts. I'm very much inland in Houston so I'm sure other people will have issues well above and beyond mine. I'm documenting in photos and video my experiences here. Only a few photos but things haven't picked up yet. Just some wind gusts. In fact, the sun just came out.

Thanks,
Gabe

I hope everything turns out alright for you and your family. All these hurricanes hitting us this year...I swear it's like The Day After Tomorrow IS tomorrow and there's nothing we can do about it.

We survived just fine because of the Rita direction change. We just got power and cable around 2PM today. Hope everyone else came through OK. Updated my Rita page:

Glad everyone is OK. How long was the drive back home for your family?

My wife and daughter are still in Austin. I told her to stay there with her parents until Wednesday at the earliest. I tried to get to Austin on Friday morning around 4am but got caught in traffic. I went 2 miles in 1 hour. I drove back home.

Everyone is good. Hope all other Jemsiter's are OK as well.

Rita Approaching


Thanks,

Gabe

We received a small amount of rain and some light winds from the tail end of Rita as she swept along the northeast today and then out to sea.

Good riddance.
