A New Adventure Every Minute

The second strike arrived in San Antonio this morning which was adventful with the crew that is with them, with many stops having to be made before getting to their staging area, Kelly AFB.
There are hundreds upon hundreds tour busses and ambulances that are staged there. I would reallly like to know the real number, but probably wont get that until after it is all over with. However, I was told that it was as far as the eye could see.
The crew got some down time, I really don't know for how long. They got to take their showers that I understand that they could not wait to take, that from David Cooper. I won't even go there on that one.
They have already sent out about 500 busses and ambulance tonight to start evacuating hospitals and nursing homes. The person giving me this information did not know where they were going, but I sure hope the others do.

They said that the sleeping arrangements where a whole lot better this time than two weeks ago. This time they have cots assigned to their teams, every truck has a satillite phone and every team leader has a nextel phone. The ones who went last time who are on this trip said it was much better, except for the showers. This time, they don't want to lose anyone or send them where they are not suppose to go. They got teamed up with some of the same team members as the last time. This time, Dave is not team leader.

Ike is expected to hit the coast of Texas sometime Saturday with Galvaston being in the line of fire on this one. The state of Texas is expecting flash flooding in a large part of the state with San Antonio area in the flooding. When talking to Chuck about it, he said that San Antonio floods easily.


I did see on The Weather Channel the number of busses and ambulances that they had sent out to neighboring cities and counties. I don't remember the exact number, but there was a large number of busses sent to Houston to evacuate.

Will, that is all that I have for you know. Hopefully to get more updates tomorrow.
