I know many of you are aware that Hurricane Ike is in the Gulf of Mexico and headed our way. Jason left work early today when his office closed for the weekend. The girls' school district is also closed tomorrow. I spent some time in the grocery store with another several hundred of my neighbors taking care of last minute shopping. We've cleared the back yard of all plants, bird feeders and other objects. We also have nearly full gas tanks. I think we are set for this storm.
Several coastal areas are under mandatory evacuation as of this morning. Luckily, we don't have to do that. We are about 80 miles north of Galveston Island. We are expecting all the wind and rain that comes with hurricanes along with a high likelihood of damage, but hopefully we shouldn't have flooding. The local media and authorities are advising areas north of Houston to "hunker down" and that's our plan.
We'll keep everyone posted after the storm passes to let you know that we survived.
