My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ike is a monster of a storm. It is covering the whole Gulf of Mexico and is flooding roads from Florida to Texas.
Hunker down and get ready to watch the wind blow for nine hours +. Stay away from areas in your home where trees may fall.
"Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best."
God bless,
Paulette
P.S. DQ, you will be affected too, won't you? I will say a prayer for you and LM.
