Thanks for those updates Ace - it has been very interesting following
Ike.
Still a very vicious storm - I have a lot of sympathy for those in
it's path, but at least the vast resources of the mighty U.S. of A.
are available to them.

This morning I received a call from a cousin who is an RN in Houston.
They have all available staff at the hospital for a week - full time
living there. As of her call they had only a few folks admitted, the
emergency crews were just mobilizing and they expect admissions to
increase. Several of the hospitals are on generator power, some are
experiencing heavy water/weather leakage and the water supplies are
not safe at this point (those with water are being told to boil it
prior to use). Their concern is having sufficient clean water to
handle a heavy surgical load and cleaning injuries. Though not a
rosy report (would be great if all facilities had power and good water
& no weather leaks) they have already arranged for the damaged
hospitals to be the triage and low care level facilities with those in
better shape handling surgery and heavy trauma cases.

Thanks John. Hopefully the bad storms will end for a while.

Even up here in Michigan we get the remnants of the storms. In the past two
weeks we've had over 2 feet of rain, first Gustav on the 4th... Lowell from the
eastern Pacific on the 12th into the 13th... followed by Ike on the 14th.

chance of rain is Thursday, according to what the tv weather guy said
this morning.It is cooler weather here now.

Some people have all the luck...

A lot of that rain water is going to find it's way into the Mississippi
River.I think there will be more flooding down South.
