The Babies and the hurricane... Toby update also

[lvpets2002]

Yes Laura & I have been talking back & forth.. Yes we had plans on her & the babies coming to my place in Texas.. However her niece is closer & is now going to take her & the babies in if needed.. In fact the hurricane is to miss LA altogether now thank goodness.. Laura is going to go ahead & get on her boat for work Wed 10th.. All looks good in her direction.. She has been told she & the babies are welcome at my place anytime for sure.. Oh by the way Ike is hitting the lower part of TX & Mexico now.. But will miss me & Laura for sure.. We will just get some rain maybe.. Thanks all for good thoughts & prayers..

Laura - lvpets2002 (Helene) posted twice that she was available in Texas if you needed a place to go. You might want to see about setting up a Plan B with her.

HUGS - and I am glad your girls came through so well, with all the favourite and familiar things at home!

I am not getting on the boat tomorrow... I want to make SURE it is not going to turn before I leave this house, Maybe Friday I will go get on the boat if I can.. Our news here is still telling us not to turn our backs and forget about Ike.

We had a thunderstorm yesterday, winds and heavy rain. Rie got more water in her house even though the roof was covered to what they thought was good. Her husband had to work yesterday but got on it as soon as he got home nailing down more plywood on the roof and caulking around it this time and adding extra a tarp over the ones they already had up there. He already had 2 tarps over the holes in the roof and water still got in! So now there are 3 tarps over those holes, triple layers and big plywood and caulking!

This week end, he is going to pull the celing down in the kitchen/dinning rooms and nail up some salvaged plywood from the part that fell over the carport.

Boo came got in my lap for the storm yesterday until it was over and I couldn't find Giz anywhere, she went and hid somewhere. So, now I got 2 that are tramatized and scared of storms?

Thinking of you and your family in these times of crisis.
More Prayers.We are so sad and hope things get better around there.

Well now the Weather people are saying if a cold front comes thru at the same time of Ike hitting that it could pull as much as 10" to 14" rain up here where I am at.. Also with winds of up to 45 mph.. MMmm They say the weekend is to be a rough one.. We shall see..

[Laura's Babies]

Aww Geez! I wondered how/if it could effect you. They are still telling us to keep our eyes on it here, it could still turn towards us if it slows down any once it gets back out in the gulf. The front that is pushing it towards Texas will be moving and that could open us up to getting it but as long as it moves 10-12 MPH, we should be safe. That is what is so scarey about these things, so many things effect where they go/don't go.. any one thing change and it's path changes. I hope you are up on a big hill and not prone to flooding! That's a lot of water!

Thinking of you all!

Stay safe!

Yup the street I am on is in a high spot.. All the rain goes down hill from my house.. I found that out when we got 10-12" about 2 years ago.. Yup there two low fronts coming down from the high west coast CA air thats suppose to effect on if it meets Ike to make it pull up high into Tx with the rain & wind..
