Faery, I live in Lancaster. My sister and her family in the Beaumont-Pt. Arthur area. As I stated earlier, bil is in Jackson and sis was already here, but the rest of their family got here around noon.

My sister lives in Missouri City, TX with her grandkids. She called me today to ask if she could stay with us for awhile, she'll be on the road tomorrow morning. She wanted to leave tonight, but she doesn't drive well after dark.

Last I heard, oil had already gone up a $1 a gallon today. I hope I can get to the gas station this afternoon before it starts going back up again. I knew I should have stopped last night.

This is heartbreaking. If needed, this time I am available to go to the coast with the Red Cross to do crisis therapy. Guess I should get ready.

I just received a phone call from one of the head officers of the Red Cross in NY, - they asked us to do another promotional video that will be used by ex-President Clinton to solicit funds for hurricane relief. We are so excited. We are filming it on Saturday.

Houston here, leaving tomorrow unless it makes a major change, heading to Georgetown, Tx just north of Austin where it will only be a Tropical storm.

I have just read that even if Rita hits land at a Cat 4, it will be at a Cat 1 when it reaches Dallas Saturday afternoon. I sure hope my mom and dad can handle all the humans and animals (which almost equal in number to the humans) at their house.

I think she is in Houston. Has Houston been told to evacuate?

The mayor of Houston has asked for voluntary evacuations of low-lying areas.

NT, she's in Houston, but she said Annie is much further south than she is. Isn't Glenn in Houston or am I imagining this?
