Yesterday I got a call from one of my student's parents. She knew I had never evacuated for a storm and wanted to make sure I was out of the city, safe, and had a place to stay. It was so meaningful to me. I have been so worried about my students and their families. I have only had her son in my class for 2 weeks and only have had 2 or 3 converstations with her. What a wonderful and caring woman - a act of kindness that I will not forget.
Overall, I can't watch anymore. Thankfully Gustav is slowing down and things are not looking too bad on land, but Courtney and I have seen enough. Even with the good news it still works me up. We still have a few hours to go - praying that the levees are strong enough for the final surge.
