Prayers for safety to all who are in Matthew's path. We live on the Gulf Coast in Texas & know all too well what it means to have to evacuate from a hurricane's deadly path. During Hurricane Ike we were out of electricity for 30 days. I think us & a co-worker were the very last people to get power. DH said...never again & when we were able we bought a home generator that powers all our electricity. We are too old to have to run out every day or so & try to find fuel for the little electric generator that we had & water (we are on a septic system).
