URGENT: Tropical Storm Edouard

Sisters,

Tropical Storm Edouard is likely to make landfall at Galveston Bay tomorrow morning.  Although currently 'only' a tropical storm, REMEMBER, Hurricane Dolly was only a tropical storm one day out, but made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane.  Please prepare.

To better enable us to ensure the safety of our ward members, Sister Lucy Stern has established an email address which is to be used ONLY IN CASE OF HURRICANE.  She requests that each family in the ward email this address and state whether they are evacuating or staying, and what preparations they have in place.

The address is oldeoaksEPC@gmail.com


Following are some informative links to help you in tracking the storm, and preparing for it:
