Lucked Out!

Well, I am sure yall are concerned about Hurricane Ike coming up the Gulf. We were too earlier last week because all of the local news predicting it to head towards Corpus Christi, and then once it reached New Braunfels, turn north. All week our news channels were predicting a lot of rain for us. At one time they said possibly 20 inches! Then, as you know, Ike changed directions! We have only received wind gusts, close to 30 mph! We have not received any rain, and now that we are on the west side of the hurricane, probably will not get any. We have received a lot of evacuees. My work opened its doors to a few people from nursing homes in the path of danger. I met a lady yesterday that lives in Galveston and she was very worried about her house, but she and her family got out! I am sure her house is not good right now. Schlitterbahn has a park at Galveston, which they expect to have a lot of damage. I just wanted to update everyone and let yall know we are not in any danger, nor are we getting any weather changes like expected. I heard Lubbock has received a lot of rain! Send some our way please!!!
