I've been updating Don on the news coming across re: family evacuating from southern Louisiana in the face of Gustav. While our assorted relatives did not hang around during Katrina, instead becoming part of the mass exodus piled up on the highways and by-ways, they did see the aftermath of the storm and flooding. That was sufficient for the whole crew to pack up and leave before the latest hurricane whirled into the state.
I was reading the e-mail update from Don's mom regarding the caravan of his cousin and the assorted people and dogs that have headed further than their original stopping point of Jackson, Mississippi out loud to him and the boy. I followed the personal news with a more general news report found online. As I quickly reported what news was available, I skimmed over the text regarding the risk of storm-spawned tornadoes to state the concerns of [far more disturbing ] "storm-spawned tomatoes". Whoops. One really must be wary of those flying tomatoes. Nasty things. The boy found Mom's report way more amusing than the real news.
