Be safe, coastal Texas folks!

We're way inland but have the chainsaw, tractor, and generator at the ready. Northbound traffic is already pretty bad. :auto:

Hugs and prayers for everyone in the path of Ike.

I was about to say "ditto" to Mamagistra's excellent post. But that word now has a different meaning on the board. :w00t:


So, um...:iagree:

My parents are under a mandatory evacuation. So we're cleaning. Hope everyone else fairs well. If anyone doesn't have somewhere to go, please PM!

I can't offer shelter in D/FW, but if you're headed this way, we can at least offer a decent meal and many earnest prayers.

I'll say it and I'll go a little further! Mega Dittos! :D

Please take care, be safe and know that there are many thoughts and prayers coming your way. My family lives in the Houston area and we have many other friends and relatives there as well.

:auto: Evacuate if you have to!

This will be the third "biggie" for me. Never much fun...

Mamagistra, make sure and fill your bathtubs up with water so you can bail it out to flush the toilets. If you are on a well, this will make life a lot easier :). The good news is that there's a cold front coming in and our temps won't be hot and steamy next week (highs in the 80s, lows in the 60s I heard)... will be a lot easier on those without power!!

Take care everyone!

Yes...we'll have full tubs as backup, and the generator will be cranking if needed.

For now, we wait... :lurk5:
