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?

Re: People In Hurricane Ike's Path
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.

Re: People In Hurricane Ike's Path
Guys, I wouldn't take this storm lightly.
Here is the local advisory from the National Hurricane Center.
I admit I've never seen this type of language in a NHC advisory before.

SHORELINE OF MATAGORDA BAY...5 TO 8 FEET
GULF-FACING COASTLINE SARGENT TO HIGH ISLAND
INCLUDING GALVESTON ISLAND......12 TO 16 FEET
SHORELINE OF GALVESTON BAY...15 TO 22 FEET
LIFE THREATENING INUNDATION LIKELY!
ALL NEIGHBORHOODS...AND POSSIBLY ENTIRE COASTAL COMMUNITIES...
WILL BE INUNDATED DURING THE PERIOD OF PEAK STORM TIDE. PERSONS
NOT HEEDING EVACUATION ORDERS IN SINGLE FAMILY ONE OR TWO STORY
HOMES WILL FACE CERTAIN DEATH. MANY RESIDENCES OF AVERAGE
CONSTRUCTION DIRECTLY ON THE COAST WILL BE DESTROYED. WIDESPREAD
AND DEVASTATING PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE IS LIKELY ELSEWHERE.
VEHICLES LEFT BEHIND WILL LIKELY BE SWEPT AWAY. NUMEROUS ROADS
WILL BE SWAMPED...SOME MAY BE WASHED AWAY BY THE WATER. ENTIRE
FLOOD PRONE COASTAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE CUTOFF. WATER LEVELS MAY
EXCEED 9 FEET FOR MORE THAN A MILE INLAND. COASTAL RESIDENTS IN
MULTI-STORY FACILITIES RISK BEING CUTOFF. CONDITIONS WILL BE

Re: People In Hurricane Ike's Path
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.
