This may be a tad bit late and perhaps redundant...STAY INSIDE WHILE THE WIND IS BLOWING HARD! Three years ago when Katrina was blowing through here we had a man in our town get killed because he was outside, standing under a tree when the wind knocked a limb off and sent it crashing to the place he was standing, killing him instantly. AND STAY OFF THE ROAD! for the same reasons. Those winds pick up projectiles and you could get hit! Blessings,ginnyrose

Although this is one of the unpleasant realities of living in on the Gulf coast, it is still a horrifying event. One of the most terrible forces known to man is pounding our city (and utterly destroying our sister city, Galveston) and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do. No matter how sophisticated man becomes; no matter how advanced our technology, we will never be able to stay the hand of God when he sends his mighty wind. May it remind us how powerful and terrible our God is and bring us to repentance and faith as we recognize the fact that we, along with the rest of sinful humanity, deserve (and could receive) far worse. Thank you for your prayers, phone calls, and encouraging emails. VB
