Those of you on or anywhere near the Gulf Coast

Please check with your RA about hurricane procedures. There are procedures in place; it looks like some of you are in for a rough couple of days.

(If you don’t know what I’m talking about, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc )

PLEASE, once you’re safe, text mom and dad. They’ll be worried, but won’t want to step on your toes. Just check in a few times between now and next week, OK?
