Nothing like a family of giant slugs to freak you out. I was just trying to move our outdoor loose objects into the living room when I noticed that The Slug Family of Seven decided to hang onto the bottom of this trunk and slime our carpet (notice the Sharpie pen used for scale - my geology major mission companion would be so proud). I felt like James in James and the Giant Peach when he saw the human size centipede for the first time. Husband saved me by gathering them off the floor using the Ensign magazine.

It begs the question as to why anyone lives in Southeast Texas - giant, man-eating slugs AND hurricanes. It also appears that all the spiders in the area have received the evacuation order. Their destination? My living room.

Did you by chance pour salt on them? Trust me, it's disgusting.
I hope you guys are safe! Yup, never been in a hurricane but have had my fair share of typhoons. I agree typhoons aren't fun.
By the way, I read this article and thought you'd get a kick out this one and the other articles related to this. From BBCnews.com

eqwinder2 was me. I was logged in and forgot to change it.
Sorry about that.
Have you ever seen a banana slug? 5 to 6 inches long and bright yellow. Believe me, those are disgusting. And they are the University of Califonia - Santa Cruz mascot. Not quite sure why, other than the fact that they reside there.
I had no idea you could put salt on slugs. Next time, they'd better watch out because I'm ON IT. And no, never seen a banana slug. And I never want to. I might throw up on it.
