Everyone In Texas - Please Be Safe

Nikki hasn't checked in yet this am..... I may have her phone # and will try to give her a call in a bit. We are getting sprinkles in Dallas, nothing major yet. They keep saying we will have high winds, but we will see !!

Barb - let me know if you are unable to call her and check. I should call and chat with her, anyway - although if I get through, it's sure to be abbreviated!

I hope she is okay. I'm sure she is without power. Right now I'm so angry that were asked to leave and stayed anyway (and this morning actually said it was "cool") and are now putting the lives of the rescuers at risk. I wonder what it will take for them to understand there is a reason they are asked to leave. The scenes from Katrina should have been enough to let them know what can happen when they choose to stay.

Prayers :pray: and rays heading to all who live in the Gulf coast towns in Texas. The news reports from Galveston are so scary. Houston got hit pretty hard, too.

I tried calling and it went straight to voice mail...... my guess is she is not able to get service.......

Hopefully she will check in as soon as she is able !!!!

(Julia, I am sure she would love to have a voice mail from you when she is able to get on....)

I pray everything is alright with Nikki. Barb, how are things your way? We are watching the weather channel and it appears that the center of rotation is very close to you. Are you getting heavy rain and winds?

Barb · September 13, 2008, 04:18:14 PM

We have had mild rain most of the day and the wind has been gusty - probably not more than 25 MPH or so - I think the brunt of it is in east Texas...... I did errands this morning and we have been hanging out at home !

Heard from Nikki - they are fine. No real damage, but power is out....hope to have restored soon.....

Hey, gang - I just talked to Nikki - we played phone tag today - and she finally has power again after 8 1/2 days! She is heading for bed(8:26 p.m. her time), having gotten a/c again and hot water for a shower, and plans to catch up on the sleep she has missed, having only slept two or three hours at a time since the power went off...
