Edouard is HERE...


A lot has happened since yesterday morning...Edouard is making landfall in about an hour. The storm has moved north a bit and no longer will be hitting Galveston, but unfortunately it will be hitting La Porte directly (the small town on the coast where Laura's parents live). We are now on the dirty edge of the storm here in Pearland. Laura's 90 year old grandfather and sister are here with us now, and Laura's parents are hunkering down at their house hoping to ride it out. The winds are gusting up to 75 mph. Brian just left for work as he is considered "essential personnel" and they make him come in. We're doing a lot of praying right now.

Do you think it will still be going on by Tuesday?(I don't have a clue about hurricanes and time.)
I reconized the name "Galveston" and I'm hoping you guys or your family won't take much damage. I'll be praying for you.
Just for laughs you said, "laura's 90 year old grandpa and sister." It made it sound like her sister was also 90 years old:)
