Are they evacuating the Houston/Galveston area now? I haven't heard much re: this storm here in Cali...my mom on the East coast keeps relaying me messages via telephone.
Hope your other house remains safe and intact.
Thanks, H!
I will be keeping you and all other Texans in my prayers! It's just so amazing to see something like this happen!
*~*God Bless*~*

You're in my thoughts and prayers! Keep us posted!
I was working in Goliad earlier this week, but the Court House is now closed and folks are moving inland. I suspect it'll get pretty windy here in San Antonio, but my real concern is with the folks closer to the coast.
Had no idea you guys have a place in Brooks Co. I did some work down there last year. Their Court House is nifty because they keep all their records in the basement, feels like you're somewhere you're not supposed to be. Oh, and the Best Western in Falfurrias was new and clean. A real treat after some of the dives I've had to stay in elsewhere in south Texas.
Keeping you and your family in my prayers Letti. My brother and family live in El Paso so I've got Texas on my mind!
Keeping you all in my thoughts n prayers, plz tcz gal
hugs
Hey if you need a place to stay, I have some spare bedrooms up here in New Mexico. Come by and set a spell. We'll even make lemonaid for ya!
:P
