Charles & Shirley Senseney and Frank are at Diana's house in High Island. They are all safe. Rhea and family are in Beaumont. The Strimples from what I have been told are in Winnie with Coot. There have been a few asking about Deena Callender...I have no word on her at this time, I have been asking around but no such luck.

SANDRA VIRDINE- i passed it on to my mother- she may have contact for april and those. I am sure they got out safely! I saw the Gilchrist ambulance under water in the bay about 1 mile from where it should have been- Nothing was normal down there! A sad sight to see, indeed.

We have a house located at 1615 Madison in Bolivar. We are trying to get in touch with our neighbors, Bobby and Peggy Bouse. Through the website www.noaa.gov I was able to find post Ike aerial views of our homes. It appears they are still standing. I don't know if Bobby and Peggy were going to Jasper or maybe even to Peggy's brother's around the Dallas area. If anyone knows where they are and how to get in touch with them I would greatly appreciate the info.
THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

We are keeping all of you in our prayers. We have been coming there since the 1940's. My parents lost a house in Gilchrist, then built the one in Emerald II. We knew the house might go someday, but we never, ever thought we'd lose a whole community. Our love to all of you out there.

Here is the link to the Red Cross "disaster safe" page. You can list yourself as safe or post information on loved ones that you are looking for.
