I hope all in his path stay safe..:grouphug:

He's in my sister's back yard right now, they're pretty psyched because they can surf in their pool today!:eek:

Yikes!! Where is Sis?

Thanks Sally, I hope the one meteorologist is right. not wishing this on anyone else on purpose, but he had said there were two fronts and depending on how it reacts to these fronts it just might go due west, sorry Mexico but, I get a bad feeling from this one, and if it hits New Orleans, i get a feeling and have had this since early last week, its gonna get even bigger than it is, in the gulfs warm water

I hope everyone pays close mind to this IKE, and hopefully everyone will be ok

They're down in Bonita. They have one of those bullet-proof hurricane houses so they'll be okay, just don't like having their social life interrupted.:rolleyes:

Thanks for that link Sally! Thought we might have to deal with one or the other of the storms trying to get out of Atlanta Tues night!

I guess it did a number in Cuba!!! Praying for People..

Looks like the monster is dead set on Houston. Tom, how are things at NASA..:eek:

Frank, I hope you're right, I hope it keeps going west, but it doesn't look like it..

Well - We're going to level 4 in the morning if nothing dramatically changes overnight, then level 3 whenever. Shuttles Endeavor and Atlantis are on the pads at Kennedy for, oh, yeah. I forgot to update y'all. STS-125 launch slipped to Oct 10. STS-126 launch slipped to Nov 12. Endeavor goes to Hubble on 10/10. Atlantis is called STS-400 = rescue thing is something goes wrong with Atlantis (no space station to take shelter in - they'll be at the telescope).

Level 4 = staging sandbags and sealing tunnel hatches. Level 3 = get ready to shut down mission control. Level 2 = shut down mission contol and transfer space station ops to Moscow. Level 1 = I got a big problem... Restoring the mission control power plant is probably the biggest one...

Tom

Yep, I will be heading to the Hill Country on Wed. Hubby has to stay here (he is a police officer) and will be working 12 hr shifts if Ike comes for a visit in Houston.........

Hope everyone on the Texas/LA coast is prepared & prayers to everyone!

Yeaaaaaa, it looks like Ike veered westerly and may miss Houston, although, it may still be windy and raining there. They have the eye pointed toward Brownsville and maybe even Mexico.

We can only hope but, if it keeps going Westerly, the eye may miss the USA..:cool:
