Hurricane Ike

Toni's first hurricane and at just 4 months old! Well there was Gustav, but he took a turn away from us so I guess that doesn't really count. We haven't really felt much of the effects... YET. Although we've been watching the news religiously and my goodness! Galveston is ALREADY flooded out and it hasn't even rained yet. Just the surge of waves alone has flooded it already. That's pretty scary. The bad part hasn't hit yet and already parts are underwater and homes. piers, building are already damaged... all due to the surge of waves. Sheesh. Reporters are getting knocked down and 2x4's are flying towards them. crazy. that is NOT the job i want!

Well Junior has to work this weekend. Sucky! Which means he is staying at the hospital all weekend. At least the hospital is built to take these things, so I'm not worried there. But there was the concern of me being alone with Toni and Jake and on the third floor. If things got so bad we had to evacuate, that would not be an easy task for me to do alone. I was going to stay with my brother in Missouri City, but that's even more south and closer to Galveston. So we decided against that. We instead headed west out to Katy where Toni, Jake and I are staying with Junior's family.

I'm not expecting too much damage to homes and things. I hope my car is ok too. What's worrying me now is that the media is saying to possibly expect a 15 day outage!? That's insane. I'm thinking Sunday things will start powering up again. I hope!

Anyway, wanted to get one last blog in before the outage!
