Hey Freepers, we could use your prayers in Lufkin. Evacuees who have been waiting for hours on end for gas are now being informed that the supply is almost gone and we won't be getting more until Monday. On top of that, all of our shelters are at capacity so they are telling out of towners to be prepared to take refuge in their cars if they don't have enough gas to make it to Henderson, Kilgore, Longview, or Tyler.

City managers and police are telling locals to get off the roads and GO HOME. There have already been reports of fights at gas stations. People are tired and nervous. I'm nervous. My husband is out delivering the mail. I spoke to his supervisor and he said they are "monitoring the situation." My confidence level isn't high about that situation but that's all I'll say about that. I'll be better once hubby's home cuz we're supplied up and will be locked and loaded.

Sending prayers...

I hope you all stay safe and that those poor people stuck on the roads find somewhere safer and better to take shelter than their cars!

Rosey,

Stay locked and stay loaded, let us know if you are ok. What about Athens, Kaufman in there? Any news?

I just want to thank The Almighty publicly that I am not still in that disaster 20 miles outside of Lufkin trying to get there.

[Lanza]

Let me add, prayers to everyone there

Ya'll got prayers right along with the folks staying on the coast. But for some wobbles in the storm we'd be sitting in the situation ya'll are.

[Palladin]

Good luck, Rosey. Sounds like you are prepared. Stay well, stay alert, and God be with you.

If I were out there, I's sure appreciate it if you discretely drove up to me and my family and asked me to come to your home with you, and saw that your neighbor did the same for the family next to me. Lufkins should open every available space for shelter...churches, every school, etc.
