It'd be worse if it was orange.
I'd have someone tow a glacier down there for you all but I hear you're experiencing some turbulence right now. ;) Seriously though....please stay safe! We're praying for everyone. :)

Coast Guard Rescues 13 Surfers Off Texas
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050829/ap_on_re_us/katrina_surf_rescue
SURFSIDE BEACH, Texas - Thirteen surfers had to be pulled to safety Sunday after becoming fatigued in 15-foot seas created by Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Troy Davis said the rip tides were strong and most of the rescues were 400 to 500 yards off Quintana Beach, about 60 miles south of Houston on the Gulf of Mexico.
Sunday evening, nearby Surfside Beach closed the Surfside jetties that are used by many surfers as a launching point.
Hurricane Katrina, a powerful Category 5 storm, was expected to make landfall Monday morning near New Orleans. A hurricane warning was in effect for the north-central Gulf Coast from Morgan City, La., to the Alabama-Florida line.
LOL!!

You are now assimilated.

SA are a better cause than the "American Red Cross" imho.
Did you steal that sign from Crawford, Texas, yesterday??? hmmmm???? ;)
I didn't have electricity for a week. My sister and I did homework by candlelight *lol*
Wow, she's chugging right along, isn't she?
She "got the memo."
They learned a lot from the Florida storms last year. By the time Jeanne struck, they were very efficient. I just hope they cycles their staff through so they got hands-on experience last year.
Looks like there's still a backup on the freeways. Yikes!
Don't care.
Thanks.
Thank you for your help.
