Keeping you in my prayers. Are your towns planning for evacuations? I know Christie's city will be in Hurricane Ike's path. Please try to keep us updated as much as possible.

So far only school closings and voluntary evacuations have been posted here. We plan on riding it out. We will be on the dirty side of things so hopefully it won't get to bad.

I just heard it looks like it will be a cat 4 when it hits. As of yesterday it was going to be a cat 2. You better be careful Christie. I need to get a map out and see where exactly you are ... I am so bad with geography!!

here's a map I found
http://www.weather.com/maps/news/atlstorm9/projectedpath_large.html?from=news_mapshttp://www.weather.com/maps/news/atlstorm9/projectedpath_large.html?from=news_maps

According to this map Christie is in the Saturday morning pathway. Just in the section where it turns from red to yellow.
"Dear God i hope you will keep Christie and her family safe from harm. Please help the hurricane to blow away from the land and keep the people safe"

What does that mean??? I think my house MUST be on the dirty side of SOMETHING??

STAY SAFE!!!!


The dirty side of a hurricane is on the east side. Since the storm rotates counterclockwise the east side is called the dirty side.
