Hurricane Ivan

Everyone is bracing themselves for Hurrican Ivan........ I will know tomorrow if I can leave Montgomery and go to Birmingham or Atlanta, or if I'll just go over to a friends house here in Montgomery. Birmingham doesn't seem too optomistic considering the fact that traffic is back to back and I would be traveling in the midst of Ivan making landfall. So it might be safer for me to stay here....... Please pray for us here in AL. Here are a few requests for particular people you may or may not know.

-DS and TL. There were supposed to leave Mobile tonight to go to a friends house going east into Florida. Have not heard back on if they have left.
-IA and family. They have decided to stick it out in Mobile at home.
-HW. She is going to stick it out in Mobile also. She will be going to the school she teaches at for shelter.
-CL and family. I was able to reach them and they are making their way into Birmingham right now. They were evacuated earlier today. The trip from Robertsdale (below Mobile) to Birmingham took 7.5 hours when it usually takes 4.
-SG and family. I have not heard back from her yet. She and her family are from Saraland.
-Please also pray for me, my friends here in Montgomery, and family in Birmingham.

I love you all. I probably will not post again until this is over............

Cindy.
