An e-mail from earlier this weekend:

I am a very regular reader of The Corner (some would say obsessively so!) and a semi-regular emailer. Please pray for all of us in the Houston/Galveston area today. We are facing a terrible storm with Hurricane Ike coming at us as I type this. We are on the far northwest side of Houston, and are praying that all that we will suffer is some damage from winds and debris. We have family with us who evacuated from Clear Lake, near NASA, who may lose everything, depending on the storm surge. We could really use some prayers!
I will be in withdrawal from The Corner while we are without power, it will be terrible! I look forward to catching up with everything as soon as things are back to normal, whenever that may be.
