People In Hurricane Ike's Path
 

Pray for those in the path of Hurricane Ike.

PO, Esther, AG, & Steadfast.
Steadfast & his Church have not fully recovered from Rita & are praying to be spared this time round.

Anyone else that you know of beside a few million?

The storm has been tracking farther NE and the eye of the storm should be around Treasure Island in Galveston County.

They are expecting a 20 foot storm surge, which will destroy anything it its path. Please pray for all those coastal residents, because many will lose everything in this storm.

I know that it is a very real possibility... but we can pray that this one doesnt do much and God can too grant this... Just like they thought it would destroy NO when Gustav hit... and it did no damage at all there... I place my trust in HIM!!!

Re: People In Hurricane Ike's Path
 

Praying. Having just survived the damages of Gustav, I am really praying! I have got friends in Orange, TX that will probably ride this one out.

DA and Chosenone are in the path as well.

Re: People In Hurricane Ike's Path
 

Praying for y'all.

And James Griffin.

I might see some wind and rain too, hard to tell just yet.

Guys, I wouldn't take this storm lightly.

They used similar language in the advisory for New Orleans for Katrina. I agree this is a serious storm and everyone needs to be very cautious.

Wow. That's sobering.
