Please if they ask you to evacuate please do it. Ike is no storm to be messing with. They showed on the tube tonight that around the eye they are recording 40 ft wave heights and if it gets to CAt 4 or 5 strength and it hits houston, over half a million homes would be under water. So please be safe and cautious and not sorry and foolish and get out. The rest of the country is praying for all of your safety.

Yeah, get the hell out Larry!!! Run like hell!!!
You should switch your av to Larry Mondello from "Leave It To Beaver"

Stay safe everyone!

Please be careful and be safe!

You heard the man... get out! Come to my house if you gotta! Plenty of room, towels, TVs, food, etc. C'mon. Don't make me worry.

Ya'll stay safe and please be careful. These storms are nothing to fool with. GET OUT!!!

Report back as soon as your able to.

Stay very safe, all.

We need to locate Crazy Deb since she lives in Corpus. She has probably jetted up to the family in San Antonio. She can come and stay here........she can bunk with Tony since I will be in Tulsa.

Hope all our TX friends will be safe and untouched by the storms. We were just planning a get-together for TX-based Plokkers (and strays like me) in the AP forum an hour ago. Look forward to meeting you, and all safe and sound!

Hey, you, Rick, SacredEyes, CrazyDeb and Fu Fu are ALL invited (and expected) at the Plokkker get together in TX, once you've all been passed up by the storms. We need to come up with a name for it... how about PLOK THE BAYOU?

there is not enough rain and waves to soak a good west texas ground!!! we'll take it!! ok,.... larry monello it is..

Looking very serious, the storm is HUGE!!

It's not very strong yet but in terms of diameter, the storm has almost the same amount of tropical storm force winds being pumped out as Katrina did.

The thing is so big in size that it almost covers the entire gulf! If it strengthens to a Cat 3 or 4, and makes landfall at that strength, there will be widespread destruction.

Crazy Deb lives RIGHT where it is predicted to go ashore ... tell us what your plans are, Chica; I know you can check in on the evil IPhone, and we need to know you are staying safe. We've got other Texas coastal bend regulars here too ... please be careful, everyone.

I heard that on the news here this morning and when they mentioned Corpus, thought of Deb. Check in Debola, when you get a chance please, worried about ya.........

I posted to Debbie yesterday about this, and she said then that she was getting pictures packed and ready to go. Hope the bad parts don't hit Corpus

Please all of you get where it is safe, and check in and let us know!
