Ike in Texas
Hey Texas people, I really hope this one is not too bad. Hurricane Ike is looking pretty fierce. Please take care, stay safe and get away if necessary. I'll be thinking of you.

I agree! The saying that everything is bigger in Texas better not apply to hurricanes!

My thoughts are with everyone, stay safe!

Ike looks to be very bad as far as flooding. I hope everyone listened when told to evacuate.

Prayers to all affected. Personal items can be replaced - lives cannot

Take care everyone! I'll be thinking of you, as we were very nervously watching this one last week, ourselves!

Thanks for the thoughts & prayers! I'm just west of Houston, in Katy, and they told us to shelter in place. It's 11pm here right now and I can hear the wind outside, but it's not raining yet and it's not supposed to hit Katy until 2am. I guess i'll be pulling an all-nighter.

I'll post an update tomorrow if we have power. Hope it's not too bad, but seems like it keeps getting worse. It's 1mph away from being a Category 3 right now, so basically it's a Category 3. Nothin I can do but wait at this point.
