So many of you know that we have friends and family in Houston. so that's the first prayer--for safety and such. All my family lives in the southern half of Houston....on the western side....
But, to make matters more interesting for my family: last night my uncle had a fire in the paint room at his shop. Thankfully, most of his crew had already left, but after they tried to put it out, there was an explosion (they think some paint dust blew up into the air) and some burning insulation fell on them as they were leaving. So the backs of his hands are pretty burned--which apparently was interesting to go get treated since so many of the health care offices and clinics had already shut down due to the oncoming storm.
After teh fire department got the fire out about 2 hours later, they had to go back and get what they could cleaned up....because if it floods, it could carry away some HAZMAT. Anyways, be praying for my uncle and his family, especially as this morning a mandatory evacuation has been announced.
