Hope everyone is safe. Ike is dangerous! Most of them are

I know my daughter, her husband, and my grandbaby live in Sugar Land, TX, about 45 mins. from downtown Houston. She called me today and told me they were not leaving, and I was very concerned!! But, she called a little earlier this evening, and they finally got their head together and decided it was time to leave. I feel much, much better now, knowing they are not that close with all the wind, power outages, and trees snapping/windows breaking!! I hope everyone else in Ike's path chooses not to play with Mother Nature and leaves, and takes their pets out of harm's way, also!! Jan G.

My thoughts are with those in the immediate path of Ike and the others that may also be affected by this hurricane. What few people realize is that Hurricanes often spawn tornados around their periphery, making them a double whammy if/when they hit shore. Even our weather in Oklahoma may be adversly affected by Ike. Hanna gave us some sprinkles but with Ike's projected path, flooding is now a distinct possiblilty over this week-end. Arkansas and the mainland Texas are also in danger. Prayers to all of us in Ike's path. Plants are replaceable, people (and their beloved companions) are not.

My Prayers are with you all that everyone & their animals come thru this safely. God speed.
