Agreed. This one looks real nasty. Get the hell out of harms way guys...

Spoke with Monkeyboy last night....he's in Sack-a-tomato.....probably a couple hours north of you. Anyhow, you should try his company's chicken wings. I told him to check the x5world board.

And ditto....Hopefully Art, Jude, and X5Monkey and family stays out of danger. (Art get that Z8 outta there!!)

Guys,

I just spoke with Art and all the windows are boarded up . His family has already evacuated. I told him to take the Z8 and jam outta there as quickly as possible. Wish him luck and that the garage and house do not get damaged.

If you talk to Art again, tell him I'm thinking of him. I'd call him but I don't think he needs me to bug him at this time.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We finally finished boarding up the windows and hopefully have everything secured. Forntunately for Houston, Rita is turning slightly north which projections right now(but changing contantly), put it east of us. But my prayers are for everyone's safety, wherever they are.

It is very diffcult to get out of town(or anywhere) since yesterday morning. Traffic is horrible, averaging 1 mile an hour, with many running out of gas on the freeway. Right now my brother and I plan to stay. We have plenty of food and water. This surely will be a nerve wrecking next few days. I'll keep you posted as long as my internet connection stays up.

ArtZ8 out for now.

Good luck Art (and everyone else in Rita's area).

Good Luck Art.. you know you're always welcome at our place! Sunshine would love a roommate.

Good luck, guys - I hope you come through unscathed!!

Keep us posted, if you can - our thoughts are with you.
