Hurricane Ike Headed Our Way

This morning, Allison had this to say:

"We are preparing to evacuate Rockport 35...and trusting God with everything.

Thank you for your prayers.

Allison"

And later today, Julee sent me this from one of her bridge buddies who lives in Rockport:

"Just wanted to let everyone know we're planning to evacuate unless Ike really changes course soon. .... Ron will start boarding up the house today. .....We really need some rain, our wetlands are about dried up except for 3 deep ponds, but don't need that wind. According to the NOAA storm surge maps, it will take a category 4 for a storm surge strong enough to reach our house. So hope that doesn't happen. The house construction including the roof was built under the state wind code so hopefully we won't have too much damage with a cat 2 or 3 anyway. Still hope it goes south and comes ashore on one of those big ranches like the King or Kennedy that don't have many buildings or people, but right now it's headed straight for us."

It sounds as if the palm trees at Rockport 35 RV Park and Resort might get ruffled. Let's hope that is all that happens.

I'm sure Tony and his able crew will have everything done which can be done to protect the property. Of course we hope that all their preparation will turn out to be unnecessary.

I asked Allison to make sure Space 80 didn't blow away. Her response:

"We're trusting God with EVERYTHING--including Space 80!"

Thanks, Allison. You can't get much better prepared than that!
