We talked to relatives in the Spring area north of Houston. They said
electricity may be out for as long as a month. Lots of damage and flooding.
I sure hope Bob and the rest of the group in Houston are OK.

Hi Gang,
Lets keep all of our modeling friends in our hearts and prayers, especially the
Houston S Gaugers.!
I last heard from Bob Werre around 8:00 PM last evening. ............ .........
......... ......... ......
"Bill, we are doing fine so far where Galveston and the communities near the
ship channel are already underwater. We are about 30 miles from any of that
action right now. The storm surge is the only thing causing this right
now--just wait till the real winds get here and then the rain.
The winds are picking up right now, big gusts are tossing the trees a bit. We
will get hit hard in about 4-6 hours, with tons of rain after that. Our main
concern is flooding in the studio so I've gotten things off the floor. Second
concern is a collapse of the flat roof in the building from too much water.
Our house will probably be okay if the roof holds tight. We have vinyl siding
that could also start peeling, but it might flex enough. We've gotten
everything that might fly around in the garage. I wish our neighbors would do
the same.
This storm is a difficult one in that it's super large, but as yet, not too
powerful. It seems to be moving fast which is good. If he stalls we will have
massive flooding.
Take care too,
Bob"
I know that right at this moment Houston is getting pounded and there is no
electricity!
I pray that all is well with everyone!
All of this makes me heart sick!
"S"incerely,
Bill Fraley
