Wondered if anyone has heard from BeckyDyan? She is hair above Houston, and Variant/QueenBeaver is in Leesville (Southeaast, LA), just wondering how they and all the other Momma's in the area, how everyone is fairing thus far?

Just want to see how everyone is faring too. I'm sending prayers your way!

It is after midnight here. We are supposed to get gusts up to 75mph. The rain is steady. We are under inland tropical storm watch, hurricane watch, flash flood watch, and tornado watch. We brought the girls downstairs to sleep with us because we are surrounded by *huge* pine trees.

Mark and I are staying up watching movies, not our usual fare, I think more out of curiousity. We venture out every hour and watch the pine trees sway. Kind of an eerie feeling.

I hope everyone can check in when they can.

Im in Northeast Texas (Texarkana) we are supposed to get 15-20 inches of rain and some pretty good wind gusts later on...right now we are just getting about 15ish gusts, im so grateful we dont live further south, but am keeping my southern mamas in my prayers...

south Arkansas here.. Rita is on us now.. WIND LOTS OF WIND and sheets of rain.. The shingles on my roof are blowing off. Hit my daughter on the head when she took the dog out... Metal awnings are blowing everywhere,, The roads look terrible.. some flooded others have debri strewn all about. We lost power for a little while. Super walmart lost it to this afternoon.. Such a mess.. It cooled us off though. We are under torn. watches till later tonight.
Stay safe mamas..
