It's looking worse for us up here. Ike continues to track WNW, with projected landfall just west of Galveston. Just got back from my tennis match (priorities, you know), and things are getting crazy! Weather started out very hot and very still. It's now clouding up and a little breezy. Lines everywhere. No gas, no water, no ice, no propane. Store shelves are picked clean. School is cancelled for tomorrow. Only one house in our neighborhood is boarded up. Tom is at work so there's not a whole lot I could do with that anyway. Awful lot of windows in this house.... Big windows... And lots of tall trees...
Scary thing is this is going to be an overnight storm. Everything seems worse at night. We are thinking of riding out the storm hunkered down with several other families. I think the kids would be more at ease that way. (me too) I'll try to take some pics of the weather, maybe some video. I think I can post them on the blog. Gotta go start moving things into the garage, projectiles you know. Check back often. Until the the power goes out this will be the easiest way to keep in touch. Phone lines are already jammed up.
