We talked with my uncle at 5:30 our time and he is on high ground ! So very scary !

WE PACKED MY SUV FULL AND MY HUBBYS TRUCK FULL EVERYTHING STRAPPED DOWN ( SO WE THOUGHT ) I TOOK THE BACK ROADS WHILE THE HUBBY TOOK THE FREEWAY ( I TOLD HIM NOT TO BUT, MEN ,HE DID NOT LISTEN !!!! )
WHILE GOING ABOUT 65 OR 70 DOWN THE FREEWAY HIS TAILGATE FLEW OPEN AND OUT CAME A SWEET FRENCH STYLE DESK ! MY HUBBY SAW IT GO SO HE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT THE DESK ON ITS TOP WENT FLYING PAST HIM SO HE HAD TO GO TO TRY TO CATCH UP WITH IT !!!!!!!! WHILE HE WAS TELLING ME THIS ON THE PHONE I COULD NOT HELP BUT LAUGH JUST THE PICTURE OF THE DESK FLING PAST HIM ON THE FREEWAY :o
