Hurricane Ike Update

Updated: I just got a text from my friend Elaine. She made it through Ike OK. She is very tired and has no electricity but she's OK. Thank God!

We still have sunny skies here but we are expecting rain tomorrow.


Ike is predicted to take a northernly turn and hit the Houston/Galveston area. Please pray for all those that will be affected by Ike.


Jimmy's sister lives on the outside of Houston and has prepared to weather the storm so to speak. I also have two good friends who live in Houston, Crystal and Elaine, both who I have mentioned before on this site.


Be safe everyone!

Hurricane Ike

The superintendent cancelled school for Thursday and Friday due to Ike. As of last night, Corpus Christi was slated for a direct hit. Tonight the path of Ike has shifted to the north which makes things better for us.

We are prepared. (Well as prepared as you can be in a situation like this.) We have food, batteries, flash lights, water, etc.

I've done most of the laundry and all of the dishes.

Jimmy cleaned up the yard today and we have plans to anchor the trampoline tomorrow.

We have plywood ready to put up, depending on tomorrow's forecast.

Ike is on track to land late Friday night into Saturday morning.

Please pray for anyone whoever will ultimately be in Ike's path.
