Hi all. I'm typing fast on the phone line here so hope it gets through. (2nd attempt!)
Thank you all for your thoughtful comments & prayers. We are so happy to read that Betty & Nancy are safe in Houston. Anne, Cyndi & Betty have been so wonderful in keeping us "hanging in there" with their terrific emails. Thank you all. And, Karen, you're the man for helping me out with computer issues. Betty, you could be "live hurricane reporter"! Thanks so much.

We had good news yesterday, too, that my sister is safe. My daughter was able to get through on my sister's cell phone FINALLY. She made it to Hobby Airport (located on the south side of Houston driving AGAINST traffic from the west side) and flew to Dallas Thurs. night. Our cousin was the Southwest pilot (!) and she didn't know it until today! (They- the cousins - had been sending ME emails asking "where in the world is your sister" since they (2 Southwest pilot cousins) would have brought her home with them in Dallas......) What a crazy story..... Anyway, she made it to her friend's place but I didn't have the friend's phone number. From here (Bahamas), her cell kept giving us a "hurricane emergency" recording for two days...... My daughter called us late yesterday afternoon telling us she had gotten through to her & she was fine. Take care all of you who are in the flood zone. Tks again. - Michele
