Roll Call Who's Staying?

[EAGLE07]

Family went to our farm house in Cushing, I am staying here in Silsbee.

Anybody up for some Texas Hold'em?

i'm already evacuated, but in normal situations i'd be up for a game.  do you play often?

I have a regular game every week, rotates around three places, have a monthly game in Buna, and I play at the boats about 6 times a month.

Man, I'm liking you guys more everyday...We have a " once a weeker " here in Barbers Hill.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

We are in Galveston and are staying only because we waited too long to leave. 

[BMTSoulja1]

I'm still here in Beaumont.  I want to see what this thing does by the morning like 6:00 am.  If bad, I'm outta here.

[stangchain]

I'm staying unless it heads our way. We are safe from the storm surge where I'm at here in Orangefield.

You had mentioned the last storm that you were right across the interstate from us.  You must have meant from our new house!!!  I kept trying to figure which subdivision you would live in right across the interstate from us in Little Cypress!!!!  lol

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

The Examiner will have tons of photos beginning early Saturday morning. All updates in the Hurricane Ike thread.

We're staying.  Unfortunately my new house is only 3/4 "dried-in". >

Well, ours is dried in, but they just delivered the sheetrock and there are no doorknobs.  We have NINE doors (french doors).  What was I thinking?!!!!????  We had to board it up today.  It took ALL DAY!!!!!

[Guest WeedBegone]

Weed is here---i'll be at Alex Durley Memorial Stadium tomorrow at 7:00.  If nobody else shows up--WB wins by forfeit---darn it.

I thought a forfeit is a 1-0 win?

No, I was talking about our win/loss record. We would be 3-0! 50-7 against Ozen and 47-22 against Central.

[BMTSoulja1]

Have they officially cancelled that game yet?

[82 5A State Champs]

We didn't. But Spring ISD officially cancelled all games this weekend!

[BMTSoulja1]

They should have brought our boys up north somewhere in Walmart Parking lot and let them go at it!  ;D ;D

[tvc184]

For anyone that is staying, they upped the forecast for the storm surge to 20 feet in the Golden Triangle. Anyone in Sabine Pass, Port Arthur, Bridge City or other low lying areas that has not left, needs to do so..... and hope they are wrong. The seawall around Port Arthur and Mid-County is 15 feet above sea level. Assuming that their forecast is correct, it could make New Orleans after Katrina look like a wading pool.

Of course, if you can swim in 100mph winds while on top of 30 foot waves......

If this stays on the current forecast, it could be catastrophic damage in some areas.

Yeah, T told me about your place across the Hwy a couple of years ago. I assumed you guys were in there by now. Are ya'll staying?

[DAMan]

I am staying....Probably more safe than you coastal people.  However, I thought that in Rite. Lost

my house, had a heart attack removing trees.

Hey, best of Luck to all of you that ride this out.

[BearWolf]

it 's part of my job to ride it out for BISD.

We are still debating.  Prepared to stay but my kids are wearing me out, so I don't know yet.  We boarded up the new house because sheetrock just got delivered and I have 9 french doors (I don't even LIKE the French, so why did I get that many french doors?  LOL)  Had to put boards in front of all of them because of all the glass.  We just replaced four windows after Rita on the back of the house we are in now and did NOT want to go through that again so we boarded them up!  We may go stay at my sister's on north 62 if we stay.  If not, we'll go to Marksville, LA.

[BCcardbacker]

We're staying..............we are between BC and Orangefield so I think we are high enough............Am doing lots of praying at this point.  Everyone that

chose to stay, stay safe and hunker down!

Bless you and God be with you.

Or go to some small town that is away this weekend and used their field....Like the Tomato Bowl in Jacksonville, or Tiger Stadium in Mt Vernon...Heck, Winnsboro Red Raider stadium is pretty cool...

[BMTSoulja1]
