Bring it IKE, Bring it!


Ike is getting closer, it's getting gloomy and windy, but we haven't seen a drop of rain yet. The storm is still set to hit us around midnight tonight, and go right over us. For those of you who are familiar with the Houston area, Ike will hit landfall and start heading north east, it's going to follow I-45. Looks like storms like to stay on the major roads, who knew? This is what the latest weather report is for Spring: Sustained winds 60-90 mph, 5-10" rain with flooding in poor drainage areas, isolated tornadoes.
(We are not in a low lying area). We are expecting a loss of power, and we hope that it won't last too long. We're ready for you Ike! Bring it! Sorry Em, looks like I'm not going to get a picture of a tornado for you... it will be too dark :)

Thanks for thinking of me...have fun tonight. I'm curious what it's like tonight because we were all set to be in a hurricane last week but they went in opposite directions.

We're ready for updates. Let us know when you have power. We're so glad that you "weathered" the storm. Love you lots. By the way, message #5 was really from me. Em had updated her blog from my computer and I didn't realize that it wasn't me. Sigh!!! Look forward to hearing from you.
