APparently, I am stranded. I got one more day to check out of this hotel and I'm out of money.

I sent this email to an undisclosed interested party that helps my family and business out when we are in need....


How are you and your family dealing with all this? Do you have food and gas? Are you prepared for 2-3 weeks?

Everyone's telling us to stay where we are. Jennifer's friend in Sugarland texted they have no gas, 8 hrs wait for gas lines, generator is out of gas, can only run at night...cell phone is about to die, etc... it's like the entire city has shut down completely.

Other friends report outages of meat in restaurants, HEB grocery shopping in the dark no electricity, with cash and paper receipts...gas pumps not working with no electricity...etc.

Tomorow morning is our check out date. I only have $300 to get us wherever we go, and I'm out. I have 2 options I guess....go to Arizona and stay with my parents or go to Arkansas and stay with her aunt or grandma. Either way, once we get there, we have run out of resources and I don't think either parents are in a position to really help out.

I'm soooo sorry about all of this. We are worried about you and everyone else there. This is truly amazing and unexpected. Everyone thought Houston was bulletproof because we don't have a weak levys, because we got 30 ft seawalls....etc.

This beats out Alicia and the great storm of 1900.

What do you think we should do? Keep staying here for $150 a night plus eating and gas? Or go elsewhere and stay with family? It might be a 2-3 week dilemna from what I'm expecting and hearing about.

I will do whichever action you think I should take for us.

Thanks,

-Mike
