Waiting in Katy,TX

Dear Family & Friends,
I am with the kids right now up in Katy,TX 50 + inland from where we live in League City, TX. We are staying with our cousins' Lester & Vanessa Lanza H 281-855-6816. Clyde (Glenn's Dad) is our contact outside of TX for our emergency plan. I plan to post as needed for how things shake out down here. Glenn just finished up with the church plywood and is at the house gathering a few things that he needs and he will be making a slow way up to Katy. He plans to avoid any and all major HWY's as a normal freeway drive would take him a little over an hour to get here. A current news broadcast for our area called for a voluntary evacuation of the League City area. I expect it to take Glenn about 3 hours minimum to get to where we are. We are now at the hands of mother nature and where she decides to land the hurricane. The winds are a worry for our home, but the main thing on my mind is the flooding. Now we are not right on the coast. Galveston is only about 45 minutes away and that is one of the areas on the projected pathway that shows a a potential landfall site. So that could mean a good sized storm surge for us and a flooded house. I suggest you look up Weather Underground on line ( I an not embedding it in this email) to get a good look at what is projected they have really informative charts on Ike.
Please keep us and all the other people facing this hurricane in your thoughts. They are saying now it looks like a Cat 4 by landfall Friday AM.
