I'm glad to hear your family's OK. I will keep them and all the other residents of the area in my prayers.
I hope that the situation improves soon, and that your parents are able to get the things they need to get through the day. Though the danger has passed, there is still much to be concerned about - I'll be sure to pray for all the people of the region.
Rod, political wrath aside for the moment. I'm glad your family is safe.
I'm also glad your family is safe. I'm glad Gustav wasn't as bad as expected.
