My grandparents live in Daphne, Alabama which is not far from Mobile. They have a nice house in the middle of a golf course, elevated just enough to stay out of the flood plain. I've only been there once, almost ten years ago.

This also happens to be directly in the path of the hurricane.

My grandparents, along with countless neighbors, were determined to wait it out in their homes. I called yesterday after reading evacuation orders had been issued for their county. So now I'm just waiting, to hear from them or my mother. It makes me uneasy, waiting.

Jesus, I was wondering about that. Good at they are elevated. That'll help a lot.

I hope they are alright. I'll keep your grandparents in my thoughts.

I hope everything turns out ok with them.

Oh, heh, you too?

My family's been watching the coverage all night because, since we used to live there, we know a whole bunch of people. They haven't even gotten to Dauphin Island to see what it looks like. What we're seeing is incredible. I hope your grandparents are safe.
