MASS PRAYER
Time for a mass prayer for all the folks around the coast and in the path of this monster.

just yuk.
the latest images have that monster coming right over the top of us in NE Texas. Today is the first clear day of sunshine since Gustav's remnants finally petered out. I am sooooooooo sick of rain and being soaked through. Time for new umbrellas....the winds this last time around inverted both of them and bent the frames. I guess I should consider myself lucky..............
rain, rain, go away, find someone else...no, no, I don't mean that. how about just go away?
as always, Jarhead, you rock!

I already had everything I needed. I was just picking up "extras".
I cannot get large amounts of my medication. I am nocturnal epileptic.
So the worse thing that will happen if I don't have my medication is I will have a couple of night time seizures a year. I had over 2 wks worth but my hubby was insistent that I get more.
I just topped off my tank - it was 6 gallons and I have a 28 gallon tank.
I had cash too but had to put hubby's ck in bank and kept out more.
I would have been ready w/o stepping out the door today.
Don't be mad at me.

Now THAT is what I like to hear! Not about your epilepsy, certainly. I didn't want to make you feel you had to justify anything but it was kind of you to explain. Take care!
I lived in Texas City (just over the causeway from Galveston) for Hurricane Alicia.
We decided to ride it out. We were idiot twenty year olds. Though it was pretty exciting during the hurricane, afterward was a nightmare.
There is no way I would try to ride this one out! It’s forecast to hit during high tide with swells of 10 to 15’. And that’s as of now.
A slow mover over the hot waters of the gulf makes it pretty unpredictable.
I'm no expert but Galveston and the whole SE Gulf coast is in a world of hurt imo.

Galveston might really not exist after Ike goes through near there. This storm could easily wash right over the island.

When In Doubt, Throttle Out!
What's the deal with that green forecast (with the round dots) that goes up into Oklahoma, stops, does an about face, and then spins south westerly through Texas again?
that one's pretty bizarre as it's completely different than all the other forecasts.
Of course, I'm not a weather-man . . . so, in the immortal words of Sargeant Schultz, "I KNOW NNNNNOTHING!"

I didn't want to be the first one to say that.
I'm afraid for the actual island itself being swamped and washed. And that the surge may just decimate the island all together. Including the surrounding coast line.
Thank God they have evacuated the island.

The Galveston National Weather Service Office is not mincing words:
"All neighborhoods... and possibly entire coastal communities... will be inundated during high tide. Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single family one or two story homes will face certain death. Many residences of average construction directly on the coast will be destroyed. Widespread and devastating personal property damage is likely elsewhere. Vehicles left behind will likely be swept away. Numerous roads will be swamped... some may be washed away by the water. Entire flood prone coastal communities will be cutoff. Water levels may exceed 9 feet for more than a mile inland. Coastal residents in multi-story facilities risk being cutoff. Conditions will be worsened by battering waves. Such waves will exacerbate property damage... with massive destruction of homes... including those of block construction. Damage from beach erosion could take years to repair."

Here is the situation:
We have seen no one boarding up their houses.
People are looking at my guys like they are crazy.
My guys are tired but still at it - we have 32 windows. Some are really big. A front leaded glass door with surround windows all around it.
3 were on very top probably 25' up or more and on a very steep pitch.
(they are faux windows to the attic - attic is huge)
Then they have many 2nd story windows. Some of those windows are to rooms that are two story so if something happens during storm - almost impossible to get to.
One guy was walking his dog and when he came by and saw my guys putting the boards up said "The storm isn't going to come this far inland, is it?"
We are 60 miles from the coast.
Now we have one neighbor who has suggested she is home alone and might get scared. Wanted to know if she could come over if she did and she has 3 dogs.
I am envisioning neighbors having windows broken out and 70-90 mile an hour winds and rain pushing into their houses and coming to the
ONE and ONLY house that is safe. You think?
My guys are looking at me with that look of "We sure hope your not putting us through this for no reason". But they would never say that.
We have seen no one boarding up their houses.
People are looking at my guys like they are crazy.
My guys are tired but still at it - we have 32 windows. Some are really big. A front leaded glass door with surround windows all around it.
3 were on very top probably 25' up or more and on a very steep pitch.
(they are faux windows to the attic - attic is huge)
Then they have many 2nd story windows. Some of those windows are to rooms that are two story so if something happens during storm - almost impossible to get to.
One guy was walking his dog and when he came by and saw my guys putting the boards up said "The storm isn't going to come this far inland, is it?"
We are 60 miles from the coast.
Now we have one neighbor who has suggested she is home alone and might get scared. Wanted to know if she could come over if she did and she has 3 dogs.
I am envisioning neighbors having windows broken out and 70-90 mile an hour winds and rain pushing into their houses and coming to the

HAVE THEY? The last I'd heard they thought it was "too late" to fully evacuate and were asking people to let the highest needs folks (elderly and disabled) get out first.
I've posted this a couple places. I've had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and "Galveston island" in my head for three days now... long before the models had it heading anywhere near there. I think I posted that yesterday morning somewhere. I'm no prophet for sure, but I was thankful it looked like I was just crazy... then I come on here this evening after a few hours away and the damned storm looks like it's going to track right over it. Damn!
Prayers for God's mercy on the people in harm's way.

Yes they did a mandatory evacuation finally early in the evening.
Which basically, destroyed the chances for the counties above it from evacuating or added more traffic to the one's that did anyway.
They should have been evacuating at least the day before or even the day before that.
