Well, a week ago I requested that everyone keep those along the Louisiana coast in their prayers because of Hurricane Gustav. Now it's Texas' turn as Ike is coming to town. The latest forecast has it hitting close to the Houston/Galveston area and it's predicted to be a Cat. 3 if not stronger (Currently it's a cat. 2).

On a personal level, please say a little extra prayer for my family. We are from the coastal area around Houston/Galveston and have already evacuated to San Antonio to wait out the storm.

I believe there are a few other people on this forum from the greater Houston area so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers too.
