之前因为Katrina,
我曾经问过LD,
如果有一天,
我们也要强制撤离,
那么这个家里,
你最想带走的是什么?
他不假思索的笑着指了指我。
我不觉得这是一个很实用的答案,
但它却不可否认的让我觉得温暖。
这份温暖,
足以让我在Rita到来之前保持我的平和心态。
其实到昨天为止,
我对Rita并没有很强烈的概念,
但是当我接到朋友们一个一个的问候,
看到身边的人一个一个的逃离,
超市货架上整排整排的抢空,
我觉得,事情也许真的比我想象的要来得严重。
CNN的一个breaking news,
Rita就已经升级为category 5了,
并且中心也在往Houston的方向偏移。
(不幸中的万幸,
New orleans似乎已经在Rita肆虐的范围之外。)
今天早上Galveston已经强制撤离了,
不知道这一天离Houston还有多远。
现在的我们,只能用心祈祷,
所有的人都能平安。

一些应急的tips,希望飓风影响范围内的XDJM们能留意一下:
2) Don't stay by yourself during the hurricane. Get with friends or come
on campus, as instructed for off-campus students in website above.
3) Fill up your bathtub with water (you don't have to have bottled water
from the store.
4) Close the toilet tops (in case there is water back up)
5) It is never a bad idea to leave the city and go west or northwest
during a hurricane. However, Houston is 75 miles inland and is not under
sea level, as was New Orleans.
6) Keep your immigration documents and other important docuemtns with
you, i.e., rental, insureance, etc. with you at all times.
7) If you leave, take pictures of your things in your apartment for
possible damage claims you might have.
8) Take your pets with you in a cage if you leave Houston, or to a
shelter with tags, vaccines.
9) Don't stay glued to the T.V. This can call extreme anxiety.
10) Take books, cards, etc., as there will be limited or no computer access.
11) Fill up your gas tank.
12) Stay away from your window during the storm, due to flying glass or
debris that can cause harm. You can put your mattress over the window.
13) Do not panic. The storm will pass, but we just have to be patient.
