Ike Invades Houston

To anyone not familiar with Houston geography, all of our support team is directly in the path of Hurricane Ike. To the best of our knowledge, everyone is evacuated.

While Ike will not "make landfall" until the middle of the night tonight, Galveston and the surrounding areas started flooding this morning - more than 12 hours ahead of the full force of the storm.

Houston and all surrounding areas will be subject to severe flooding and crazy high winds. Almost everyone will take some type of damage.

Please keep the Shaws, the Leathermans, the Villanuevas, and the Allisons in your prayers, as well as the rest of the Houston metro area.

We'll post more details as we get them.

The Shaws, Leathermans and Villanuevas survived Hurricane Ike with minimal damage. Don Allison had to delay his trip to Guatemala and experienced the hurricane at the Shaw house. Trees down and general wind damage, high water. The Villanuevas power was restored almost immediately, the Shaws were without power for a week, and the Leathermans are still without power. But no problem, the Leathermans left last Wednesday for a trip to Turkey! Please keep those whose homes were destroyed in your prayers, especially those in Galveston and adjacent flooded areas.
