Finally over, well, except for next week and a new low pressure area is forming in the gulf. Feel so very tired. Down to the last day of food. Fortunately the stores opened today so after midnight I will go out and see if anything is left. Was a line this morning. Word from Ling is her house is OK.

It is beginning to look like another Katrina style response from FEMA to hurricane Ike. I guess they believe as long as they get every other one right they are ok.
