Friends still stuck in Houston, but at least Lindsey is out of the Emergency Room. They’ve been trying to get out of town for over 12 hours now. Text messaging on phones proves to be an effective way to communicate. My text messaging skills are definately improving today.
How I wish our mobile phones already had GPS tracking. Even in weather disasters like hurricanes, satellites could still communicate with our GPS devices as soon as the cloud cover clears. Once the satellites sees you, they could relay your location to a central tracking map. Why is this important? Friends and family want to know where you are! Okay, so your loved ones would know where your phone is…but at least that is better than not having any clues. Yes, yes, yes, you would have the ability to “cloak” your location whenever you wanted.
Time to get back to the maps. My mapmaker/navigator husband is mapping alternate routes for my friends to find a way out of Houston. Lookin’ for country roads to bring my friends home.
