STORMS A BREWIN'!

I just got off the phone with Ben. I was reading on the internet last night that they are evacuating a million people from Houston. Hurricane Ike is "barring down" (ask Faeth what that means...hee-hee) anyway, I had called to check on his and Allison's status. It sounds like they are fine. Ben says the line at Home Depot was ridiculously long and that they had completely run out of plywood for covering windows. He was saying that the only houses on his block that had covered their windows, are the ones that are for sale, so he opted out of doing it. Their Bishop called to check in on them, what with them being "Hurricane Virgins" and what not. They also have received calls from other members of their ward checking in. Their have been offers of places to go from neighbors with generators for when the power goes out. Ben says that the Hurricane should hit around 2am this morning, they're expecting 65mph winds. Nick has to work all through the night so Laurel and Sydney will be going to Ben and Allison's to "weather the storm" (I love these little puns)! Keep all of our Houston family in your prayers tonight. I know that they will be fine and just turn this into an adventure!
