Earlier this morning I got an e-mail from Aunt Mary-Jo, this is what she said:
Hi All,
Just thought I’d share a quick note – Kim got called up to help with Hurricane Ike. She arrived in San Antonio yesterday morning and has been helping evacuate patients from Victoria, Texas to San Antonio. She is well, but busy. Here is a brief email we received from her.
Stationed out of San Antonio, Texas. Right now we have ten ambulances in a row driving code three evacuating hospital in Victoria. Per FEMA storm could be category 4 or 5. In San Antonio where we will be staying winds are expected to reach 100mph. After we evacuate, we will be "bunkering down in a military base". We were issued mre's this morning. We’re operating with limited supplies and tired equipment. These fords will only take so much. On the lighter side I broke a sweat peeling an orange sitting perfectly still I just thought that was interesting. HUMID. Oh by the way I officially have wavy hair in Texas
Please keep her in your prayers.
Thanks,
Mary Jo
Aunt Mary also got this message from Kim on her phone, here's the message:
Today were offloading patients off c-130 at the airbase. We had 5 hours of sleep after 2 straight days of hospital evacuations. Supposedly were supposed to be locked inside by noon for the hurricane. All of Galveston and Houston r supposed to be evacuated. They r mobilizing for tsunamis as well.

Be sure to be praying for Kim as she helps and all those that will be affected by the hurricane!
