I just heard some upsetting news that Purple Jade will be missing Exotica because of Tropical Storm Dennis, which is expected to be a category 3 or 4 hurricane by Saturday night, and is predicted to hit New Orleans by Sunday, the day she would be flying home. Tropical storm Cindy hit last night and left quite a bit of destruction in its wake, she was without power from last night and for most of the day today. Miss PJ is looking at quite a bit of clean up because of Cindy, the storm hit her parents house pretty hard.
PJ is very upset that she will be missing out on Exotica.
Since her elderly parents rely solely on her for support, and since category 4 hurricanes are mandatory evacuations for the city of New Orleans, they can't leave without her help. Plus to make matters worse her Mother in Law was in a head on car crash today and was sent to the hospital, thank God for airbags!
I guess when it rains it pours.
Poor thing, I just got off the phone with her and she was in tears.
I'm writing this to let people know she wont be attending the event.
I have no doubt that there is no other place she'd rather be other than in Chi-town having the time of her life with her TC ohana.
I know less than nothing about hurricanes, I just hope it isn't as bad as the National Hurricane Center is predicting.
Cuz it don't sound good.
Batten down the hatches New Orleans!
It is better to be safe than sorry!
PJ your making the right decision, to stay and take care of your family and friends if they should need you.
Your a good daughter!
