    Yeh, hoping Ike has minimal further impact. It seems to have been a dramatic and deadly season over the last few weeks.

    Holy Crap Chuck,
    Your right in the path. Are you sure you want to stay. Go to my cousins house in Austin for the weekend.
    I hope you got a basement.

    Chuck the NWS has issued a warning that if you stay you are notified that you are taking your life in your own hands kind of a death watch.

    Yeah they get overboard but if you can, load up and GTFOD...

    Chuck, are you sure that is a good plan? Ultimately it is your call but that storm is looking to be really dangerous.

    chucktx - I know your part of Texas is friggin' hurting right now, but when you get the chance to say "Howdy" we'll all be relieved. I - and the rest of this forum, I'm sure - are anxiously waiting for you to get back online.

    May God bless you and all who have suffered through Hurricane Ike. Hope to hear from you soon.

    Second hand info here, but it's reliable. Chuck came through fine. No power, trees down, but after half a day with a chain saw got cut out to pickup a generator which will help alot. Sounds like the house ect came through fine.
    I'm sure he'll update us soon as he gets back on the net.

    Thanks, Big Jake - thanks alot!

    P.S. Sure is strange, worrying about folks we've never even shook hands with, but it is just the American way.

    Yeah I hear ya. I've "known" the man for 10 year, but never laid eyes on him. Hope to change that this fall yet. I was real concerned about him and some others down that way. Sounds like everyone got through alright.
