My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in Ike's paths, and for families who have family or friends in Texas.  I know our own Skbeal lives in Texas, and hope and pray that Susan and her husband are safe.

Hugs  Mary

Thank you all for your

Thank you all for your prayers and caring. I think I got off SCOTT free -- save for a small amount of rain and some heavy duty winds. The wind is still pretty fierce, but I guess I should be thankful I was spared.

Grannyrose, I hope everything is intact when you return home and that you didn't sustain any significant damage. I hope and pray that all the rest of the people who are facing flooding from Arkansas to Illinois and those who were in the thick of things right on the coast are safe. 

God Bless you all! It's wonderful to have such loyal and caring friends!

all. I am ready to go home to check out the damage but we are being told by the Mayor to stay off the streets today. I will try to go tomorrow and check out the damage and call my insurance company if needed. I hope Oma, Smitha and everyone is safe and will check in. Love and God Bless. Grannyrose

Good luck and prayers to all from Florida.  Went through 3 in a row when living in central florida just few years ago and I do understand the stress just in anticipation alone.  Hope we hear that all are OK.

Truly Blessed.....

Northeast Louisiana was truly blessed when Ike side-swiped the western side of the state.  Where I live in north central LA, we had some high wind warnings, plus 2" of rain overnight.  I hope and pray that everyone else touched by this massive storm is ok!

Maw, I'm glad that you're

Maw, I'm glad that you're okay! After all your worrying about my safety, as I watched coverage of Ike on every channel that was covering it, I saw that some of it was aimed at you...........Sounds like you got more than we did -- but my hubby said that parts of our town got quite a bit of rain. Here, we hardly got more than a heavy sprinkle. All my plants survived without much damage. We had very strong winds -- some of them sustained at 45 or 50 mph or greater for most of the afternoon....The 12 ft tall Russian Red cannas weren't blown over,  but a few leaves took a beating, as did the leaves on my Illustris EE. All in all, they all came out of this is remarkable condition!

Grannyrose, I hope you get your power back soon, and that the rest of the damage wasn't substantial. I hope that Oma and Smitha are alright, but I doubt they'll be able to return home for a while. Downed power lines and knee or waist deep water isn't a good combination. 

Thanks to all who prayed for our safety. I think your prayers were really answered.

Susan,The Assistant Administrator, the Texas Yankee and the Texas Rangerette.

Hi Susan, I think you are

Hi Susan, I think you are right, I think alot of the country and world was praying, for Ike to deminish down to a Hurricane 2 instead of the 4 they thought was going to hit Texas. But, the 2 was just as devastating. I have spent weeks online to the wee hours of the morning, tracking the hurricane on a bunch of different sites. And praying alot. Glad you are ok, and the others, I hope will be able to come home soon. Love and Hugs mary
