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!

Re: Ike
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
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
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. 
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.

You still have power?
It looks like areas around you are flooding and you're only at 23' at best.
Be safe.

Re: Ike
Mike Bettes is reporting from League City live right now on TWC.
He said 70mph now. Surge with white caps in parking lot. No power.
