We don't like Ike...

He's MASSIVE:


You can barely even see the coastline!

Galveston's already flooding and not a single drop of rain has yet to fall!  And that's not even the start of the 20 FOOT storm surge!  TWENTY FEET, PEOPLE!!

Sure, I'm inland, but we'll still get 80+ mph winds!  And 8-10 inches of rain.  Did I mention how easily Houston floods?  And that there's a huge water reserve right behind my house.

It's a beautiful sunny day out, but we're all feeling a bit like sitting ducks, as you can imagine.  We'll be rather hacked if it turns out we should've all evacuated when they told us to stay put . . . 

Anywho, prayers will be much appreciated.  Thank you!

You bet we're praying for you. It is massive. Keep us posted!!!! I've got family in Houston and some friends. My friends left but family stayed.
