Hurricane Ike

[Leroy Eckert]

All of ya'll stay safe. There is no telling where this guy will go. The weather service has missed it track up to 1200NM. IKE has a mind of his own.

We don't have 50 amp hookups, but we can put up a visiting bus along side Sue's business in Boerne with 20 amp hookups. This kinda sucks, but it has gotten everyone's attention in South Texas. I have heard forecasts of up to 70+ mph winds here, even 150 miles inland in the San Antonio area. Panic buying is in full play. Batteries, flashlights, canned tuna, spam (yuck), water is flying off the local shelves. The wife got the last vienna sausages at the local super market tonight, so we won't starve when the power goes out (as I am sure it will in our area since it does that in normal storms). Our local Sam's Club had 2(!) plug-in emergency lights left tonight and just a handfull of flashlights. I got beer and wine! Hey, you got to be prepared!! (I took hints from the Gueaskos on hurricane preparedness supplies. Ask Pat Gureasko about the 'church ladies' she ran into in their local store on Sunday morning when she was stocking up on several cases of 'essentials' for Gustav before it hit them that night) We live on the edge of the heavily-treed Hill Country of Texas, so I spent the evening cutting back trees from over the roof line of the house again. I have about 48 hours more (before/after work) to continue with that effort. Been 2 years since I cut them all back and they certainly have grown! If someone on the coast needs a place to run to, contact me offline. I am hoping that Ike continues to veer right to the east so we won't get hit too bad. On the other hand, we really do need the rain to replenish our aquifer and "seasonal creeks". Gonna be a long weekend! Luckily, my insurance agent is a forum member!
