Mandatory Evacuation called for my area ahead of Hurricane Harvey + sad news
I live 6 miles out of town and the whole county, plus the next county south and the next county north ALL have Mandatory Evacuations ordered.
Just one problem. We sold our property in Poteet, so now we no longer have a place to evacuate TO.
Also when we sold the property in Poteet, mom and my cousin also sold the RV which is what we normally would use to carry everyone plus the animals to evacuate.
Soooooo, my sons are going to my mothers house, I'm sending their mother my ex-wife with them. I told my youngest daughter to grab her fiance and their dog and to bug out to San Antonio TONIGHT to his mother's house.
My eldest daughter and her fiance are stuck in Corpus Christi, he because he is security at one of the colleges and she because she works for the state at a treatment center/halfway house. Neither of them is allowed to evacuate because of their jobs until and unless
Because of all the phone lines being tied up my phone didn't ring with news of my friend John. However it suddenly popped up that I had a voice mail.
It was from John's brother.
They did CPR for over 15 minutes, gave him injections of adrenaline into his heart, but they couldn't get him to come back.
Storm Warning - Hurricane Harvey In Bound
Well there won't be much posting from me for the next few days. TS/Hurricane Harvey is bearing down directly on my Area of Operations/AO.
Plus I just got off the phone with the hospital, my friend and neighbor John is in the ICU. He found out two months ago he had cancer, the big C, and went in last week for a biopsy. The cancer has spread throughout most of his body and his kidneys started shutting down.
So after getting off the phone with the Nurse, I called his brother in California and left a message. Then the Dr called me and I gave her the phone number as well.
John listed me as his emergency contact and he and I had discussed his giving me a Power of Attorney, but he evidently never got around to it.
I'm asking that you keep him in your prayers.
He served in the US Coast Guard before Vietnam, he was a helicopter crewchief and he spent over a year on an ice breaker.
I'm praying he makes it just a few more months. He always liked how my kids and I prepared him his own plate for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'd like to prepare him at least one more.
Please keep him in your prayers.
His is in the North Bay Hospital In Aransas Pass, Texas. His name for your prayers is John Stotesbury
