Re: Hurricane Ike

Looks like we're about to get a hurricane enema, with Hurricane Ike bearing down on the Houston ship channel. I suppose now would be a good time to back up everything? :( I've been wanting some good hurricane footage... aren't I lucky!

David,

Don't forget to tie yourself to the mast.

Take care, Dave; I spent my teen years not too far from where you live, along the Golf of Mexico, and I'll never forget what facing a hurricane is like.

We decided to ride this one out. Expecting 100 mph winds tomorrow evening. Will keep you posted as long as we have electricty and internet. Gotta start boxing up stuff...

Good luck David, and keep us posted.

Best wishes,

Ronny

Friday 8:45 a.m. Calm and sunny, but that will change by midafternoon. Homeland Security projects Galveston Island will be under water by late evening. At 25 ft. elevation in Baytown, the 20 ft. surge should not be an immediate threat. It's the 110mph wind that will pose the most danger. Edit suite (ok, it's just a computer, monitor, ext. drive) secure as long as a tree doesn't fall on my house. Three years ago we evacuated INTO the storm during hurricane Rita as it made its way into east Texas, so we will sit here and see what happens. Hope to get some footage.
