Dear OE/ICA colleagues, We have been watching with horror and sorrow the pictures of Hurricane Harvey's devastation of the Corpus Christie and Houston areas of Texas. According to our Directory we have many colleagues living in that general area. Is there any news of their safety and wellbeing? Perhaps this is covered among many of you via Facebook, but we are not so into that social media, so would appreciate any news via the listserves. Additionally, we are praying for our colleagues in New Orleans who have suffered enough from Katrina, yet may be in for a piece of this history-making weather event. We hold all of you in Texas and the Gulf of Mexico in our hearts. Grace and peace, Marilyn and Joe
Tim and Susan Wegner are fine. Our house is on a high spot along our road, and the house is further above the road. We have taken in some neighbors along Braes Bayou near our house who are flooded. This is the worst flooding in our memory, but as long as electricity and internet hold out (knock on wood), the experience in our house is strangely ordinary. Little wind, light (albeit relentless) rain. Our bayou has been going down. Right now Louisiana is being hammered. I have used being home-bound to sort through some piles of papers in my office (LONG overdue!). And, of course, hosting the friends we are sheltering. Tim.

I hear Houston has more heavy rain to come. Be safe. Trust you have good food supply and know you have a lot of prayers coming your way. And hope Susan is providing alternative background music. Peace, Sarah Sent from my iPhone
