Before leaving for Canadian National, Bob and I sent up emergency plans  with 
Donna - our RV park Manager on Mustang Island on lower Texas coast.   When we 
arrived in Buffalo, the eye of Ike was pointed straight at Port  
Aransas/Corpus and she was evacuating to San Antonio on Thursday AM.  But  as 
you all know 
, Ike turned North and Donna elected not to leave.  By  Saturday morning she 
called, having been up all night, saying it looked like she  would have to 
water the park grass that day.  It is truly amazing what a  difference being on 
the West side of a hurricane can make.  We went from  expecting a 15 ft storm 
surge & 100+ mph winds and $1,000,000 worth of  damage, to getting a 2 ft 
surge, 40 mpg winds, and little rain.  The people  on the lower Texas coast 
were 
truly blessed this time.  However we prayed  for our friends and all the 
residents North of us.  We knew Galveston and  the area beaches would be 
submerged 
and that the $$$ damage to Houston would be  huge.
San Antonio, the staging area for most of the rescue teams, also was  
unscathed.  My granddaughter, who was doing kennel duty at home for us,  called 
to 
say that the high winds never came and that it did not even rain  there.
I understand Greg Eschette, who lost the roof off his kennel to Gustov,  lost 
part of the roof of his house to Ike's wind and rain.
The Galveston are remarkable - I saw an interview of one resident who had  
already returned and reported that their were scrape marks on his ceiling where 
 
debris had floated against it.  He had his shovel and was starting to dig  
out the mud that was left behind when the waters receded. My prayers go out to  
all those devastated - 
Relief efforts are going on in San Antonio to sent needed food and supplies  
into the area.
San Antonio has a huge rescue kennel set up for evacuated pets- The ones  
from Gustov just went home.  But thank God that buses have been taking pets  
and 
that there is a place for them to go.
Bob and I were not able to get in until midnight Sunday night because the  
flooding in Chicago caused plane delays, so that is about all I know.
