I live in Houston, TX. I grew up in and around Galveston, TX. As I watch the news and my childhood neighborhood starts to be submerged ( along with my friends' houses down there) it gets you to thinking what you would take with you, if you thought that all your sh!t might be gone in the blink of an eye. Now to clarify, I think my place is gonna be OK, I live in the middle of the city and we are 65 miles inland, so the likelihood of a storm surge hitting us is pretty slim. We will get wind and rain and maybe flash flooods ( and if we are unlucky tornados....) Anyways, I evacuated in any case and am sitting in the comfort of a friend's house in Austin but as for what I brought.... most all of my negatives, my hard drive, my computer a few clothes and that is about it. So I guess that is my desert island list. It is just weird, because we accumulate all of this stuff and don't often have to think about what cannot be replaced. Well of course my computer Can be replaced, but that would be a PITA.... anyways, back of to watch the news. Next week i am going to do a bit of disaster tourism, I can't help myself, my morbid sense of curiosity cannot be stopped. Besides I feel the need to look and see what is still there and I will probably find some way to help clean up ( that is if my own situation is not too bad....)
