Hurricane IKE-HOUSTON AAAHHH

[pumpkincat210]

still have everything, power, water, internet, t.v., but it is windy outside. It's actually quite nice, but things are picking up.

Take care of yourselves, stay safe.

i heard today from a guy stuck in galveston that the gas stations ran out of gas and people were like fighting in the streets trying to steal each other's gassed up cars just so they could get out. unfortunately, there's still alot of people that didn't get out and the storm should have hit there about an hour and a half ago if i'm not mistaken.

I wouldn't stick around the coast/beach in a category 1-2, so a 3 is just insanity.

i won't lie, if i knew i couldn't get out, i'd be having a party too. you might as well try to make the best of a piss poor situation, you know?

i'm really kind of worried for the people in galveston though, and all the surrounding areas. this thing is supposed to effect what, like two hundred and fifty miles of texas? that is crazy. i'll take my damn earthquakes over that stuff any day.

stay safe all you texans, and let us know how things are going!

Stay safe my fellow Houstonians (and Texans)

I'm from Houston too (Spring area) but luckily i'm living in Arlington/Dallas area now because of college. My family evacuated up here though. I'll find out tomorrow if I still have a house to come home to for Christmas break

I heard the weather guy on tv say houston will be unrecognizable after tomorrow. ahhhh.

 

[rbella]

Yeah, kimmy. It's kinda sad b/c they issued a statement saying those who stayed behind on the west end of Galveston will face "certain death".
Winds r bad, we have no power & it sounds like a freakin war zone w/ all the transformers blowing.

 

[rbella]

on cell so I have 2 make 2 posts. eye is about to make landfall so we should get a break. Historic restaurant, Brennan's is burning down. Makes me sad. I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this & I've lived here my entire life.

I'm watching all of the newscats and just heartbroken for you all. Please be safe, thinking of you.

Stay safe ladies! I will definately keep ya'll in my thoughts

 

[BloodMittens]

Everyone be safe

My uncle is in a hospital (in a coma) in Houston and we haven't heard from his ex wife, so we're a bit worried that she left him there with no one to take him anywhere. Also have a few friends down there, they lost power hours ago...

I'm worried about everyone. PLEASE be careful! :<

Having lived through a few very MINOR hurricanes in comparison to Ike, I know I scared I was and they didn't even compare to Ike. I am so sad for all those that will be effected by this horrible disaster. It also seems surreal. I'm not even living it, and I can't wait til it's over

 

[rbella]

this is unreal. i'm really sad. we got f*cked for lack of a better term. And, it is still ongoing. Ridiculous.

Blood-if ur uncle is in the med center, they have never lost power & r fully staffed. HTH.

thanks for well wishes, will keep u updated.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

Rbella...

Im just glad you are okay. this is terrible

 

[MzzRach]

*sending big love to everyone in TX*

 

[NicksWifey]

Danelle, it's good to hear from you! I hope you are doing okay! If you can get out, bring Mr.Rbella and all of your MAC with you and come see me in VA!

Everyone else in TX, I'm pulling for you guys!!!

Thanks for checking in Danelle. I can't keep you off my mind

I bet I can't go home til next week. Webster (Clear Lake) looks a hot mess.
I just hate not knowing what is going on at my place. Stupid hotels are being bbuilt all across from my complex (makes no sense) and i hope they secured that crap. I am worried that shit was flying around.

 

[MacAddict_Sami]

Stay safe all.... You're all in my thoughts...

i know.

the guy i heard this stuff from is a family member of someone very important to me, and i'm getting so worried about him (and his family) and my friend. she's going to be so heartbroken if anything happens to him, that boy is like her son.

i just looked at some of the photos of ike's landfall and the destruction its already left, and to think its still got so much further to go!

i'm glad you're doing okay rbella, keep us informed when you can so we know you're still doing okay!

and keep on keepin' on my texan friends!

 

[purrtykitty]

I hope you're still safe, Danelle! I can't imagine how scared you must be. You can always trek up here to NE with Mr. Rbella and your kitty (and MAC, of course). No hurricanes here!

I hope all you other South Texans are keeping safe, as well.
