Looks like if all the projections are correct that we will be in the path of the wet side of the storm. We live about 65-70 miles from Galveston. Which means flooding and tornadoes. Of course no power for awhile. I lived here when Alica hit in the 80's a tree fell on my brothers bed. In fact our house was destroyed. All prayers that everyone will be okay is greatly appreciated.

We will be praying. If you want to come camp out north of Dallas let me know. You are welcome. We should be fine up here, unless a tornado is spawned!

Hey Misty..We live about 90 miles from Houston. We have 3 lakes to be worried about. 2 less than a mile from us but we have to cross right between them and one is a 150 feet from back door. Payne has already moved his flat bottom boat next to the back door just in case we need it..So take care and hold on...

Please stay safe down there and if you have to evacuate do so early. If Katrina taught the country anything, I hope it's to err on the side of caution, especially with children and the elderly. Please keep a watchful eye.
