PLEASE do not recommend. I've posted this link to mothership for Hurrican Ike, and they will put the link in there if there is a need for this diary.
If you need housing, let us know where you are coming from and the path you are taking out. We will work to find volunteers along your way to take you in. Please leave some contact information that we can reach you, how many in your party, and whether or not you have pets.
If you have housing to offer, please also leave contact information, location, and how many people/pets you can take in. I will check in with this every hour to coordinate and respond as needed. If I need a break, I will put out a call for help to monitor.
If you have housing to offer relief workers headed to the area after the storm passes, let us know that as well. While this is not an immediate need, I will keep this information organized.
Please be safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire TX coast and any lives (be they human or animal) in the way of this deadly storm.
