I lived in Houston Texas for 7 years before moving here just over 2 years ago. My mother called up one of our old friends who lived a bit further out and apparently they went up that big freeway going out of galveston and picked up a total of 15 people who had run out of gas on the freeway (mostly pregnant women and families with small kids) and they're all staying at their house until everything settles down. Crazy stuff though, all my old friends on my AIM contact list havent been online for a while. Its hard to think about what people must be going through, and even harder when you know those people.
