Flickers

We are at least an hour away from "real" hurricane force winds (to which I ask, then what has been going on outside the window for about an hour now?!) and our lights have started to flicker. Dang Gina! We were hoping that when the power went out it would be in the middle of the night! We have lost a few small branches from our trees in the back, but no other damages so far. Our phone has been ringing off the hook to make sure we are OK because of the news of the "certain death" thing. We are OK and not in the cone of "certain death". Please pray for the people who decided to stay on Galveston Island. They are predicting there are about 90,000 people who did not evacuate and the storm surge will wipe out most of the island. Pray that the storm wall holds and that it becomes tall enough. I will post again when I am able.
