My Cousin Floated Away!!!

My cousin, Palu, and her parents were evacuated last night because the river near their apartment building was flooding due to the 7-8 inches of rain we got!!! She was first taken to their local fire station where she hung out w/ some firemen. I bet she liked that. As I was on the phone with her, someone screamed in the background, "The bus is here! Everybody on the bus!" So she had to hang up. She called me back once they reached their shelter. They had gotten cots with Red Cross blankets but NO pillows! At least they were dry. Palu said that their garage was flooded again and they probably lost a lot of things (a bunch of her cookbooks to name just one). Poor Red Crossed Palu! I know she's reading this because she told me to write a piece on her so read this:

THE NEXT TIME IT'S GOING TO RAIN A LOT JUST COME OVER TO OUR HOUSE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A REFUGEE AGAIN!

hehehe.. steal a Red Cross blanket for me.
