#1 I hope any denizens of the 'burg in harm's way are safe.

I'm gonna check with my buddy later and see how he's doing.....he's locked up with four dogs, but he's got plenty of vodka, so he should be just fine. ;)

#2 Oh goody, locked in with a pack of drunk dogs in the middle of a major storm. ;-)

#3 Our long time family friend in Houston just called, there's no power, it's expected to be out at least three days, there's also no Gasoline(Makes sense, no power, no pumps) they're evacuating to another family members home in Austin, got enough gas to get there, they'll call when settled.

#4 My brother in Spring, Texas, called me this morning, letting us know they were ok and that their house survived the storm. Their biggest worry right now is flooding, since the rain is coming down faster than it can drain off.

#5 Boyfriend sent me a text message a few minutes ago. He's got power but no phone, no cable, no water. Hope he remembered to buy bottled.

He said there were many trees down at the apt. complex, but he was fine. I didn't think of it this time, but during Rita I worried about the giant pine trees right outside the window.
