As I watch the weather forecast, and see that we will have a 92 degree day, it seems as though life is pretty normal for all of us here in Austin. But, it is not. We have thousands of evacuees here from Galveston, fleeing from Hurricane Ike.

The Red Cross is doing the best they can to accommodate the evacuees, who are all sleeping on the floor, some without sleeping bags or bedding. The families have no idea when they will be able to go home, and if they do, what they will find.

Were doing our best to help out any way we can. We initiated a canned food drive in our neighborhood and collected around 350 lbs of food in one day! Nice people here in Austin. We are going to head down to the shelters today to see what else we can do to help out.
