Hurricane Ike Says Hi
Well, this has been an exciting first hurricane season for me.
This post is really more for people who actually know me and my husband and want to know how we’re faring.
We are west of downtown Houston and thus not in an evacuation zone (meaning we are not in danger of major flooding from the storm surge) and we are currently planning to shelter the storm in place. People are still evacuating from the coast and we don’t need to be adding to the mess. All major evacuation routes are currently jammed according to Google Traffic.
We’re stocked up on food and water. Forecasts for our area predict nasty wind and rain, but not enough to do significant structural damage. We think we’ll be fine, especially if the storm track moves east.
However, we’ve taken the precaution of eating all the ice cream left in the freezer.
I’ll try to post an update tomorrow before unplugging my computer.
