Re: Ike
 

I was thinking about you today. It looks like you got some nasty stuff, too.

Re: Ike
 

Ugh! Good luck to you and hopefully it weakens and it's just a little rain and light wind.

Re: Ike
 

It's shifted north of us now. We might get a little of it (whatever Austin gets), but it'll be on the south side at least. Houston's screwed.

NWS scares me tho. They showed path predictions for Rita and Katrina vs actual landfall and they were off by about 300 miles. That's a LOT.

Should be interesting. There's usually nothing good on tv Saturday anyways!

Batten down the hatches. Get on the big tires. Fill up the tanks. Test the generator. Batteries in the lights.

Keep your powder dry!

Re: Ike
 

Clear the deck furniture, Stacy.

Re: Ike
 

The most important things after protecting yourself and your house is that generator and the gas to run it. With that you have a icebox, ice, cold drinks, fans, TV, food (can good get old)

The small portable generators may not power your A/C or Water Heater but let me tell you after living through ANDREW, COLD LIQUID & FANS are a blessing !!!

Re: Ike
 

Boarded & ready to ride...plenty of refreshments & canned goods. Small generator this year...I'll have one for the entire house next year...what a pain. I even considered heading over to NO & paying Ray Nagin a visit!!!

:fdance: :clapping:

Re: Ike
 

House is secure in Houston. Headed to Canyon Lake yesterday around noon and missed most of the traffic. I feel a little guilty heading out on the lake within the hour.:o

This is going to get ugly!!

Re: Ike
 

Glad you made it out of there, Snake. I think the worst of this is the folks who are not listening....it's "just" a Cat 2. I've been watching footage from 10 AM this morning and just the wave action was flooding towns, the surge wasn't even there yet! Supposedly the upper level winds are closer to a Cat 4. I have quite a few friends in Houston that can't leave, I hope they're ok.

Re: Ike

Re: Ike
 

Yet.

I hope your home is there tomorrow.

Re: Ike

Re: Ike
 

Re: Ike
 

You still have power?

It looks like areas around you are flooding and you're only at 23' at best.

Be safe.

Re: Ike
 

Nope...air card, generator, fan, small frig w/ water & cold beer (which is about gone....gotta reload) :clapping:

75+ on the wind speeds now...this ole house sure does creek & pop alot without tricity:D

Re: Ike
