Ike is coming and Houston is cowering. Galveston is going under, Boliver Penisula is gone, and I'm watching the flood map, waiting to see what's going to happen next. I pulled out of my place, and I'm hunkering down at my parents' place. They went on up to Dallas, but left me plenty of food, supplies, and augmented by my booze, I'm all set. :D Storm shutters are drawn, emergency generator is standing by, and the truck is in the garage. The worse part is to come, of course. I hate hurricanes at night...the noise is un-Godly. Just a constant loud whoosh that won't go away.
Power is starting to go out around Houston. I'll probably have it for another hour or so, but then we'll go dark. Probably not for too long, but probably a day or two. Oh well, it is what it is. Man, I hope my apartment is ok. That's the worst part. I'm not there, so I have no idea what's happening there. I know there's nothing I could do even if I was there and something happend, and I do have insurance, but still...it'll be a long night.
Time to get it started.
Ciao!
