'Pup and I live in NW Harris County. We're far from the danger zone, and, while we'll make sure we have batteries and such, our greatest danger would be a power loss because of some high rains to the East of us.
Give thoughts for the people of coastal Louisiana, and of High Island, Texas. They're heeding the warnings, for the most part and leaving all but the most precious of their belongings behind. I hope they are able to come home again.

Are you feeling safe and secure? Has Galveston evacuated? I read that McCain is thinking of visiting. Will that help? I'll be thinking of you and your Esperanzas.
I hope that you and yours are safe, as I do all those who are in Gustav's path. Godspeed to all!
Looks like it wasn't so bad after all.
Keep thinking of you and hoping you are ok and that Gustav is not causing you trouble.
