I hope nobody is heading towards West Texas. They expect rain to continue through Sunday. I-27 is closed as are some of the spur/bypasses. They say that Ike is not letting the system move and are expecting more rain here than Houston is getting from. The mayor just held a press conference to tell people to stay in their houses unless it is a life-threatening. This is going all across the South Plains and from Dickens, TX to Seminole,TX and into Lea County, New Mexico. Just letting people know. I know that not a lot of drivers hit this area but everyone is going crazy so I don't think anyone is safe on the roads around here right now!

 

:cry: :cry: I feel bad for you.....Ya know that....But ........
They are calling for 8 foot of water here where my house sits..before IKE hits land. They just called the house phone and left a flood advisory. Port Arthur is expected to see first "over-topping" of the flood-wall by noon tomorrow. That wall is 16 foot tall! Elevation here at the house is 24 feet...but only 1/2 mile from Adams Bayou....2 miles from Cow Bayou and the Sabine River, 4 miles from Sabine Lake...sigh.......I prayed and prayed that Mexico was gonna get Ike'ed! :? :? :? :cry: :cry: :cry:

So many people left to run outta Houston area...east is the better "run away" choice than west is.

I will know Saturday evening how bad it is.

 

I'll be praying for the both of ya and everyone else in Ike's path!

 

LOL.... Your smack in the way there Larry...get your rain coat out for sunday!!!

Oh man! This would explain why everyone is getting sick around here!!!! :shock: First some members on CAD lose their mind literally and now everyone here is getting sick....what is next Big Diesel gonna become a reverend? :lol:

 

i'm here in san antonio and wondering about how bad it'll be.

 

LOL...you gotta watch out fer all them Evacuee's!!! Lot's gonna be zooming in tomorrow late!!

Don't come this-a way! You could try...but I don't think you could do it..unless your flying a FEMA tag in da winder.

 

My thoughts are with you Stan. I was there after Rita with a T/T load of chain-saws and decided to hand around a bit and help out. Headed back out and brought back a load of water and stayed again. Big difference between Tx. and NO. In NO it was " why don't somebody do something"...In Tx it was " if you will get out of my way, I'll show you how to move that tree". :lol:

Never question a redneck with a chainsaw, a 4wd and chain. :P

 

i was originally shooting for houston. decided not to since i had to refuel at the t/a off of exit 583. my intuition told me not to go. i'm glad i didn't because it's likely my ass would have been forced to turn around. i saw quite a few evacuation buses from the southern parts of this state coming and going here.

 

Go ahead...kik it our way...
We can pay you back with Norther's :P
