All the people in our neighborhood that boarded up their windows are now sitting outside on their porches. Maybe because its dark inside.
The wind is picking up and the squirrels have started a full frontal assault on our home. They climb on the back of our bench and peer in the den window. Then they jump on the window and scrabble at it until gravity drops them to the ground. The [pet] snakes are rather anxious as well and testing their cage tops.
Community leaders are visibly and vocally concerned and that worries me some. When our mayor asked us to pray to whichever God we worshipped in whichever language we use for divine assistance, it caught my attention. They told us it was safe to stay, and I wonder if they are having second thoughts.
Please pray for my mom and dad; Heather; Kim, Nate, and Ben; Dane, Emily, Eden, and Zia; our Casa community; and all of our friends in Houston.
Click on the map to see what I'm talking about. My parents are in Kingwood, at the top of the map. Most of our friends and other family live near the inner orange circle, loop 610. Notice how many lakes and bayous dot the city. Galveston is to the east (bottom of map) and will get--always gets--a devastating blow from this kind of storm.
