It's still 11:00 in SoCal but I last stayed up until 2:00 AM for Ivan, excuse to my parents was that I had a project to do (which in fact wasn't a lie, but I just didn't tell them about the hurricane part).

I had to drive from Baton Rouge to Pensacola Beach to empty out my grandparents beach house. We didn't decide to go until 10:00 PM. Drove from 10pm to 1pm the next day. Cought all the traffic from NO. Glad we decided to go get the stuff. Had the inlaws arrive from NO right after I got home. The house is no loger standing in Pensacola, but I did get a piece of the road when I went to visit.

Emily. I stayed up until about midnight watching Irene in the beginnings of the TD when everyone thought it would be the next Isabel, but then the excitement died and I went to bed. But Emily I was up until about now.
