Remnants of Ike

The remnants of Ike are heading this way, bringing with it heavy rain and strong winds. I am thankful to not be on a coast where hurricanes hit so what we are getting might be strong storms but nothing like what the Gulf coast residents were hit with. Hopefully, it is just a strong storm and that's it - I can do without tornados.

I checked the news last night to read that they were going out to hopefully rescue those who made it through in the south, and I would imagine recover in many cases those who didn't make it, those who didn't evacuate. I hope those that made it through stay safe and those who are going out to rescue and putting their lives on the line to do so, stay safe as well.
