To all of you who live in Texas, I am sending prayers your way this week...I wish you all NO harm and I wish all you safety.

I just heard it could be a CAT 5 by the time it makes landfall

What I would like to do is set up some kind of list for those who are here who live in Texas so we know if we do not see you for a few days it is due to power outages or something of that nature and if you can once the hurricane has hit a passed through, post here to let us all know you are OK

Who ever is in Texas and near where the hurricane will hit please post your name

Be Safe! We are all going ot be thinking of you

I have a spare room at my house also. It's small, modest, but it's mine. I'm in McKinney - north of Dallas.

Paula, Ginny, Lisa, Nancy, Marie - all my Houston area sisters, you know you're welcome if you need a place of refuge.

Hi all,

I am just 100 miles East of Houston, and we are leaving for realives in North Louisiana too. The wind will be the big problem for us. Please pray for my son who is in League City, Tx...which is just 15 North of Galveston. He is the asst. police chief there, and has to stay to head up command posts. The rest of his family has gone to Dallas.

I pray everyone will learn from Katrina, to take these storms very seriously, and leave. All the material things can be replace.

Be safe, my friends! We will chat later.

They have just issued a mandatory evacuation for my area. In 2002, when hurricane Lily came, we stayed with some friends about 30 miles north of here. We had planned on going there again, IF we needed to evacuate. But from what we are hearing, that may not be far enough north.

Please pray for all of us.

Our school systems were closed yesteday (not going to reopen til Monday) for officials to use our school buses for transporting the Katrina survivors to more northern areas. They did this for safety concerns AND to allow our local residents a place of refuge, since many were stilll at our main shelters.

Just a word to all of you - GET GAS NOW!!!!!

This storm will certainly have SOME impact on the Houston refineries. Ultimately, this storm will affect most of you.

what chaos.

Leatha pmed me yesterday to offer a place of refuge for us - THANK YOU fom the bottom of my heart!

I am in Texas about 100 miles away from houston, but they say that that she could hit us also, everyone here is prepared, EXCEPT me! I have been working, and have not had a chance to hit the stores for the necessities. We are really scared. Not sure what to do next.....
