***************MESSAGE FOR DREWSMUM*******************

September 15, 2008
Officials: Please do not return to La Porte
We received a recorded phone message from the city of La Porte, asking citizens to not attempt to return to the city. There are no shelters in the city.

If you do come back, City Manager Ron Bottoms said, please check your property and then leave the city. A dusk-to-dawn curfew remains in effect.

Residents who stayed through the hurricane are asked to turn off their main breaker boxes and to conserve water for sanitary purposes.

From the Chronicle. Also, we have not been back over that way since yesterday. The Walmart is still closed. The Food Town on Center is trying to open today at 2:00 selling only dry goods. That is the first store opening around us that we know of.

I am desperately trying to find a way out of Houston for my children who live there. Can anyone tell me if US 59 is open from the beltway? They will be coming up 59 to the Louisiana border.

Thank you. We have friends there with power we will stay with if we need to. We are heading back today though.

You’re the best!
