The power company says if we loose power, we could be out for 3 weeks.

I know exactly what you mean, IWM. One of the girls in my building called me and said that it took her 22 hours to get to Houston from New Orleans (normally a 6-7 hour drive). I personally am sticking it out and hoping for the best. My empathy goes out to all the other affected pixies. :hug: |
