Hurricane Ike will be making landfall here in Houston soon. Not to worry, though. We are a good 75 miles inland and are safe from the 20ft storm surge that everyone is predicting. We are going to get a lot of rain and some strong wind, but we should be just fine. The worst that could happen is that we lose power and if that happens, we'll be on the road to Austin or San Antonio on Saturday to stay cool.

Okay, friday night this monster storm hit us hard! We thought for sure our windows would blow out. Who knew they would actually be able to withstand 110mph winds. Holy cow, what a scary night. We lost power at 2am Sat and have not had it since. There Is lots of destruction around us. Huge trees that have been snapped in half, flooding, all types of debris. Crazy stuff. We are okay, just waiting on the power to come back on. We have fresh water and several MRE's that I saved from my Army days for just such an occasion. We'll update you all as soon as we can.

Aren't you relieved that you can talk about that in the past tense?
