The message from my brother I posted yesterday
was one he sent Friday night.

Last night he sent this one:

Ok, dis ding aint goin nowhere.
I ges we gotta go hed fer da hills.
We will board up tomorree and den git on da rode.
We plan to hed NR, to stay with frends ther.
We be gonna drop R in BR with
K at his apertmnt.
dem boys gonna have fun, yah.
Or get blowd away. Either one, I dunno.
Fishing poles an bikes stay home.
Saws, gloves, hammers and rain gear get to go.
Dis aint gonna be a picnic. No potata salid.
But maybe a lot a hot dogs, for many days.
Love to all.

I guess he didn't think he needed to translate this one.

There are a lot of people in harm's way.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
