My word, it's HUGE! Like, Texas-size huge."Persons not heeding evacuation orders in single family, one- or two-story homes may face certain death."
I don't think I've ever, EVER, heard such a warning. Certain death? Sheesh.
I expect wind and rain tomorrow, but at the moment, they're predicting the storm to track east of us here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. But even with 30 mph sustained wind, I can only hope my fence stays put. I should get the trash bins up against the house.
I'm also anticipating the call for volunteers to head south in the aftermath to take part in what will be a massive clean-up effort. I definitely have a closet full of gently used clothing that can be donated, at the very least.

I wasn't a big fan of Ike either, we were briefly in his projected cone of destruction here in South Florida. Hope your fence stays put. Certain death sounds...wow. Don't think I've heard that warning before. Stay safe.
Thank you
@Maxene ... I've been trying to get into your blog this morning, but keep getting a Page Load Error. Are you in the impacted area? Is your server down?
I lived in Florida for three years so I understand your fears! Stay safe!
Stay safe Hilary! My inlaws are in Houston just outside of the evac zone...
We're going to try to get the yard mowed tonight, it will be too wet after all the rains. Then it's time to shove all the patio furniture into the garage (hopefully leaving room for the vehicles!).
Stay safe Hilary! I hope everyone pulls through alright. Thanks for your nice comment.
Be safe.... praying for you and everyone in Ike's path.
Oh my goodness!
Stay safe... please.
Hugs and lots of love,
Mon
