i read on the "hurricane ike sucks" thread that aharris2 called the cell and talked briefly to twirl's husband on sunday, they are ok, but didn't really get any other information. then later a message from twirl that cell phone coverage is very spotty. i'm sure someone will hear more as soon as things improve even a little bit. she has my number too so i'm sure one of us will hear something.

Post by: okarol on September 17, 2008, 09:25:49 PM
Thanks MIbarra - I looked through my messages and found that twirl had given me her hubby's cell phone - so I called. And he answered! (It's 9:20 here, she was asleep.)
He said she had a tough time because when she arrived at 4 am on Monday morning at her dialysis clinic she found they were closed. So they moved her down the street but were doubling up the shifts and she only got 3 hours in.
Today her center was back open so she got a full 4 hours and was doing better. He said they still have no electricity, but that food and necessities were more available today, and some people were also able to get gas too.
I told him we are all thinking of her and to give her our best wishes. He said as soon as they power comes back on he is sure she will post a message.

Post by: okarol on September 19, 2008, 05:07:21 PM
I just spoke to twirl for almost an hour! She is doing okay and really misses everyone on IHD. She said thanks to MI for the offer of help, and to David for continuing to post in the "Last post Loves IHD the most" thread (she says she's gonna win, she just KNOWS it) so hang in there Mikey, JoePaul, kim and WAW! She also said thank you to everyone else who is thinking of her. The neighborhood she is in was badly hit and large trees fell everywhere. There's a tree in her pool and it has become a swamp now - including snakes! Her dogs were so scared the night Ike hit that she had to sedate them. Then her cow dog was missing and she was really worried. They found him hiding under the van and had to coax him out with some fajita beef.
There's not much else to do with the all the heat and no power, but hopefully they will get electricity back in the next few days.  She says she is like Mary Todd Lincoln, sitting each night doing embroidery by candlelight.
Twirl asked about everyone, wondering how her fellow Texans did in their areas with Ike. She also wondered about others affected by the hurricane. And she just wanted to catch up on all the IHD happenings!
I told her to take lots of pictures and I will try to talk her through posting them when she gets back online.
That's the twirl update for now!
Keep twirling girl!

Glad you are ok Twirl... sorry to hear about the animals, hope all is getting better.  Did you see that many people in our area can apply for food stamps?  Can call  (512)973-9203 to see if you qualify.  Helps to replace the food you lost.  Also, see the following to gauge when power will be back on:

The following zip codes are estimated to have substantial power restoration
by the end of day on Friday, September 19:

77065, 77094, 77095, 77354, 77355, 77356, 77362, 77375, 77377, 77382, 77384,
77418, 77420, 77423, 77429, 77430, 77433, 77434, 77435, 77441, 77444, 77445,
77449, 77450, 77461, 77468, 77469, 77471, 77474, 77479, 77482, 77484, 77486,

The following zip codes are estimated to have substantial power restoration
by the end of day on Monday, September 22:

77024, 77031, 77032, 77039, 77040, 77041, 77042, 77050, 77055, 77072, 77077,

77534, 77577, 77583

The following zip codes have sustained extensive damage, and will therefore
have a restoration timeline that extends beyond Monday, September 22:

77002, 77003, 77004, 77005, 77006, 77007, 77008, 77009, 77010, 77011, 77012,

Allen stayed in college station
the coaches did not want them to go home
he had a game Saturday and the game was a loss
people evacuated to college station and there was a shortage on food and milk
we heard on the news that college station alumni fans were mad b/c their hotel rooms were full of evacuees
and the fans wanted the evacuees to leave
they lost to Miami
he wanted to come home and hated to miss all the action
we took pictures and several of our streets are unrecognizable

Glad Allen is good.  Hate that they lost  :boxing;  What position does he play again?  I'm an Aggie fan Twirl.... my grandfather was an Aggie  :flower;

Hope you can share your pictures with us!

I know
I never thought I would be an Aggie or much less give birth to one

it is still odd for me to buy Aggie things
I went to twirling camp at UT during summers
it is hard but I love my son
