My Fellow Texans - Please Report In!
Ok Neighbors... Grapevine, Texas reporting in. Lets share what we know since there are lots of us who might have info that is not being reported in the MSM. In Texas we take care of our own.

NOTE: Spammers and Haters will not be tolerated on this thread! Please don't post anything regarding the politics of the Ebola situation. It is what it is and now we have to deal with it. I'm trying to keep this a friendly thread for those of us on the ground in Texas to share advice and info. Thank You in advance for understanding.


Remember that thread from the other day where someone claiming to be nurse said Presbyterian Hospital was canceling all surgeries? Well, I call BS and this is why.

This morning my daughter went to ground zero (Presby hospital) with her boyfriend who was having a tonsillectomy over in the surgery center.

Anyway, They did ask her boyfriend pre-op if he has traveled recently. He said," No, but I do live in North Dallas not too far from the Ebola guy." The nurse did not think that was funny. It wasn't meant to be funny, it's the truth.

I asked her if she saw anything odd around the surgery center. She said, other than a sign at the front door that reads, If you are coughing or sneezing...do not enter" Everything seemed normal.

Re: My Fellow Texans - Please Report In!
Hope you clear out some of the riffraff, OP.

Midland here. We have so much air traffic from Dallas on any given day, I am keeping a close eye on all this. Plus I have family in Dallas and Ft Worth. My brother has a good friend at one of the tv stations, and will be notified if there is any breaking new that's "crazy", as he put it. And he said he'd let me know, cuz it would probably mean he was leaving on a long vaca!!

Thanks for the post - we need to keep each other informed. Sure can't trust the media to do it!!

Stay safe in the storm! Sounds like it was pretty bad.

I'm in Fort Worth.

Pretty quiet here, aside from the storms. We had some heavy rain & hail in downtown Fort Worth. I live on the west side of town so hopefully things aren't too bad over there. We still have power here.

Ebola-wise, it's all quiet. Ebola is being talked about *some* but for the most part, people are going about their day to day business. I haven't seen any panic, shelf-clearing at stores, or anything else.

That makes NO sense. Something is way OFF with a lot of things that are being reported, including that. There is no way in hell they would go in there unprotected. The health director? Give me a break.

So why the BS story then? To scare the hell out of everyone.
