NEW: Latest Information on Hurricane Ike – Where it will hit – who needs to be out

Attention bloggers, news and horse sites! Please post and link in this page asap so we can get the word out. It takes too long to get information listed in the search engines and calling 211 has proved less than effective so far.

We have room for over one hundred horses. If you are evacuating load up and leave and call while you’re on the road.
