My brother near Houston called. His county is under a mandatory evacuation. Tomorrow morning he is putting boards on the half a million windows in his house (there's a lot) and his wife is getting the girls ready to get out. They will leave around 2pm or so from what he just told me.
My dad is in Harris County. No mandatory evac called (yet). This is where Houston is. I am begging him to leave with my brother...
My grandma is also in Harris County. She hired one of those ambulance services after Hurricane Rita. I don't know when they will get her and her neighbors out - all are mid 80's and older... I am scared for them.
Katjaye, from here on the board, and her family are unsure so far. They may head up to Dallas. Two of their kitties used to be mine, and are elderly (Twinkie and Cassie were both born in 1995, so they're 13+).
The rest of my family - I haven't contacted yet. They are all further inland, so they will probably stay.
Please pray for them all to be safe and for them to make it through Ike with minimal damage.
Thank you.
