A few pictures of this evenings sunset. Even saw a rainbow. A little eerie. We actually just came back from a hurricane party. I can see why people have them. There is an awful lot of sitting around waiting going on and you just get a little stir crazy. Hanging out with neighbors makes it a little easier. It was a very pleasant evening. Breezy and much cooler. We get a few good gusts every now and then. The kids actually got out the kites and flew them for awhile. Primo conditions for that! One good gust nearly picked our neighbor Carly up by her kite! We are now in for the evening. Everything seems a little worse at night. Girls are getting a little nervous. So is mom. Tom is taking the dogs for their walk. Lots of neighbors still out milling around. We are sharing a walkie talkie channel with our neighbors so we can keep in touch through the storm and call for help if needed. (hopefully not). Doesn't look like I'll be able to get much video of the big winds since its so dark out. We are beginning to be able to hear the wind howl during the big gusts. The weather guys keep saying the sound of the big winds is something you will never forget. Still hoping they don't get that bad up here! 40% of Galveston did not evacuate. Crazy people. Probably crazy dead people by morning. The storm surge was much worse much earlier than they had anticipated. We are high here so water should not be a problem, unless it's rain coming through a hole in the roof. :) Ok, forgive the layout of the pics. I can't figure out how to fix it without starting over. Still hoping for a turn EAST!
