Ike continues to hover over my Son's home and he is already experiencing damage.
I am helpless to console or encourage. Without electricity he has no option but to wait for me to tell him if the eye and the eye walls have moved out of his area.
I have sat in front of the TV since 7pm last nite glued to the weather channel.
Things are taking place this morning (it's about 8:00 am) and all I can tell him is it isn't over yet.
Then I am in total shock to see that my Son in Chicago is also in weather harms way as flooding and tornado's pound his area.
Weather is not being nice, and I guess we need to expect things to get bad here in Arkansas too.
My Son in Houston is worried, and I don't blame him, I have been worried every hour on the hour that something has happened. What was the mayor of Houston thinking not evacuating and leaving people to figure out how to fend for themselves during a Hurricane that is still a Category 2 as it makes it way out of Houston.
The repercussions are going to be monstrous.
Will post more later, think I will nap again and wait for a call or drink more coffee and watch as the slowness of Ike keeps moving.

My gratitude at our family's safety back home in Louisiana was nearly as large as the worry for yours, as I knew that some live in Texas. Now that Ike has shrunken and begun its trek northward, I hope you are able to hear more and find that nothing more than property hurt.
I don't pray often anymore, but for your and yours, I'll make the effort.
Until later,

Thank you Michael, I know you are sincere in your thoughts. It isn't easy to face this mess, and we just lived through Weather changes here in Arkansas already. It's always harder when it's your kids facing the danger. Hopefully John will be safe in Dallas, and Bobby won't get washed away in Chicago before Ike moves on.
Weather is having it's revenge lately!
