We are in the process of "hunkering" down for Ike. It looks like a lot of wind, maybe 80mph in the morning and a lot of rain. The storm surge at Galveston is probably the worst since Carla in 1961.
Barbara, Sean, my Parents and Joanne are all at Barbara's parents' house in Kerrville. Barb and Sean were already in Austin Tuesday -Thursday and decided to stay in the Hill Country.
Todd and I boarded up our houses yesterday, hopefully being over cautious. I am in a pocket of 7 other house that are boarded up. Only about 5% of the houses in the neighborhood are boarded up.
Most of the area retail stores are closed or set to close by 1pm. The Post Office did deliver mail, which was kind of odd. The Houston Chronicle delivered the Sunday supplements and comics today. The Chronicle has also opened up it publishing website so that people that cannot get the paper can see the exact printed page: www.eedition.chron.com Username and Password are Ike.
