Scary Ike

Well, as the day progresses, I am captivated by Hurricane Ike. Mr. Chertov, the Arabian Horse Association Chair cum Homeland Security Head is announcing that some non-governmental levies in Lousiana have already been over-topped. Live pictures of Galveston, Freeport, and other coastal location in Texas already are flooded with 16 - 25 more feet of water possible. A frieghter (vessel) is without power 90 miles from the coast and the crew cannot be rescued because of the high winds. Please keep these communities, the people on the ship(s), the rescue and care workers, and others involved in your prayers. This is a very frightening storm.
