Yike! It's Hurricane Ike!

This monster is drawing a bead on our area. The current forecast is for winds of over 100 mph in the downtown area.

Guaranteed, we will lose electricity for an unknown period of time.
Our company is letting us go home at noon Thursday, and no work on Friday. Galveston is evacuating, as are most that live on the coast. The roads are clogged and some stations are running out of gas. Many stores have run out of supplies already. A storm surge of 10-25' is expected, which would wipe out quite a few homes in the area.

It's times like these, I wish I was religious. Almost.
