HURRICANE POSTS!!!

[Gerioke]

Sound reasoning

[irishcowboy]

At this moment,  hurricanes are not a joke to me.  My mom and sister and her family are on the road, who knows where, trying to escape Houston.  The last time I had talked to her they had been on the road for 12 hours and still in Houston.

My daughter is at her mother-in-laws praying she won't lose everything she owns like she did with tropical strom allison.

Yes, there have been alot of post about hurricanes, but there are so many people who have already lost all their stuff not even counting the thousand that died and now we face a similar situation again.  No, I admit I am not in a joking mood at the moment.

I am fully aware of what is going on in Tx, have been getting updates thru-out the day as I worked and prayed... my son was also in prayer as we worked from 8 til 5 this evening.....

ironic thou, that they are not letting anyone into the area, but only the out bound lanes are being used, the inbound lanes are totally empty..... 4 and 6 lanes worth of road not being used.....

would it not be easier and a bit quicker to have a few more lanes for exiting the area?

I would think so, but then again, i am not the one in charge.....

anyways, i was not poking fun at those in trouble, you can rest assured about that.....

I have been thru several hurricanes myself, and you are right, they are not fun, but there are alot of funny things that happen during them when you look back, and also seen allot of things that have happened (damage) from them....

I currently live in tornado alley, and i enjoy watching the storms, my brother makes fun of me, cause i am the one that use to get the ladder out when the sirenes sounded and get on the roof to see where they were at.... i have seen massive amounts of damage done by them, have personally seen several take and destroy structures as thou they were tooth pick dwellings..... not even match sticks.... seen a tornado in Hawaii, at about 5 in the evening, and it was a very long one..... seen towns devistated by them, even wichita in the mid 60's where there were airplane parts all over and some airplanes looked as thou they was an aluminum can twisted..... watched as a funnel cloude moved above our house ( funnel cloud, is a tornado that is sticking out of the clouds but has not touched ground ) and was dropping as we were gathering kids and heading for the shelter, and then seen it move about 100 yards and disapate ( i think mom rebuked it )

if I was a betting person, ( whicih i am not, ) i would almost say that God was trying to say something about New Orleans..... like maybe DO NOT REBUILD THE CITY OF SIN.... do you think????? or maybe, He could be saying You Aint Seen Nothing Yet... wait until the real judgement comes your way.....

personally, i would not be looking to go back at all..... storm serge already breaking up the levies, and it has not made land fall yet..... all i can say is watch out...... and pray, pray, pray, pray.....

TexasGrandma, I am so sorry your family is going through this, and sorry for the anxiety you are feeling as you wait it out. I can't imagine what it is like to not know where your loved ones are and not knowing if they are safe.

Please stick around for love and support and God bless you and yours and may He keep you in perfect peace.

No offense, but my energy at the moment is focused on prayers for my family. Not on what people do or don't think about me.

Just asked I had no clue who this person was and meant no disrespect. I guess asking a question is offensive to some.

To tell you the truth when I first read it, I thought you were being rude because of his OP. But, he is a great guy and doesn't take offense to much. We all word things differently. I come off as being rude alot of the times.
