Ike - Houston

I everyone OK :christianpray3

well I just took some more vids I sure hope they will upload

Yeah, it's blowing and raining here. Only had the power go out a few times, have to man the circuit breaker when it does - otherwise everything blows off when it all comes back on. I've heard one or two transformers blow. Only a few sq. feet wet inside yet, not enough to get the pump running =)

Waiting for the real stuff, heh.

!c

the rain has started here. Gusts are hitting 60+. Shannon is a nervous wreck and has broken out a bottle of rum to calm her nerves.

well we are getting 37mph winds and 50mph gusts....power is still up and so is the net!

At least both the jeeps have lifts!

be safe guys (that means no streaking)

Its beginning

Here in Sugar Land, we've had 25mph constant wind most of the day. We're now getting 45mph and increasing. And this is just the outer bands. If its track holds, we'll be really close to the eye of it at some time around 4 am. It's going to be a long long night.

jenn wait dont forget the key

ok Me and my kite are going out side now

yeah and then you can take those pics :nahnahna2:

Don't forget to take pics / video and post it here.

We're in League City west of 45, if the path it's currently on with the eye taking 45N it should be a bit interesting ...this comes to mind http://wavcentral.com/sounds/movies/mask/mask05.mp3

For those near downtown, I'm near the Toyota center, and will be there with plenty of supplies for the weekend. If you're in the area, drop me a PM and I'll give you my addr/phone #, and don't hesitate to call if you need help with anything.
