Well, this is the best news I've seen today!:-6

If you happen to run into a friend of mine who is down there handing out food and water for red cross disaster relief out of peoria illinois... you tell him to keep his hind end dry!

They are waiting for Ike to be determind before they decide whether to head home or stay to assist..

And now your going to have to go through Ike. Thinking about you SY. We had Hanna come right up the East coast, but it missed us and went more West.

Most of these hurricanes have been going right into the Gulf of Mexico and doing a number on the folks that live in those states that border it. We've been a little lucky on the Atlantic coast.

How's the falling tree - have they managed to move it yet?

qsducks · Post by **qsducks** » Wed Sep 10, 2008 2:41 pm

Just saw on the news it will turn into a Cat4 and do havoc on the Texas/Mexico coast's. And then of course, my daughter says "Mom, if you have a house there, what will happen to it?" They will find it in fuzzy butt's backyard

We got bypassed by Hanna but boy did it bring on some cool weather nights.

southern yankee · Post by **southern yankee** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 8:48 am

We are starting to get feeder bands from IKE. but we have men here trying to cut down the tree. Hubby went to the Dr all this stress is making his blood pressure go wakey. We both are stressed and tired.:(But we do know it could have been a lot worse. We are counting our blessings:)

The tree is DOWN. Lower parishes(Counties) they are Mandatory evacuation. Not us as of now. we were on voluntary for Gustav. This one will be tricky. For us it is more storm serge then winds. we are about 60 miles from the coast. be safe everyone
