Ike 2

Hey y'all,
Well last night Ike hit land with devastating effects and they are not sure how many have been killed yet but there is a fear that the number will be high because there were a lot of people who ignored the mandatory evacuation. So please be in prayer for those who have been hit by Ike. Many people in the Huston/Galveston area are without power and will continue to be for several weeks most likely. Galveston was under mandatory evacuation as it is a barrier island and as flat as possible. Huston however was not because the last time a hurricane got close to Huston they said mandatory evacuation and 110 people died in car wreaks trying to get away and only 9 people were killed by the hurricane so they suggested evacuation but did not make it mandatory to try and avoid the last outcome.

We are doing fine we are in no danger whatsoever we were suppose to get some higher winds and lots of rain last night but none of it came which is really bad for us because not only did we work like crazy last night as we tried to get as much done as we could in the 90+ heat and we really really needed the rain because we have not had rain in three weeks and that rain then was not very much so we have no grass for our horses and everything is dieing. But I need to go now I just did not want y'all to think that we were among those who have been suffering so much from this hurricane.

The Texan~
