A Long Drive

I drove today from Jackson, Mississippi to Hattieburg, Mississipi. I was fairly stressed by the drive, mostly because the majority of it was spent on the phone trying to make sure I would have a hotel room. (I'm still not sure if it was Expedia.com or Super 8 who screwed my reservation up...doesn't matter...I'm done with both of them.)

Still, I found myself in a quandry...I'm uptight because I may or may not have a motel room. The people I am going to see may not have homes at all.

100 miles from the Gulf Coast and I began to see evidence of trees down...at 90 miles, portions of roofs were missing. In Hattiesburg, whole freeway signs are bent in half.

I can't imagine what I'll see tomorrow. Tonight is going to be an anxious night.
