Hurricane Ike

We're all set to ride out the hurricane. Everything that isn't attached to the ground is secured in the ground and we're stocked up. Not really expecting anything more than high winds and heavy rains where we are. The primary concern is the storm surge zone, which we aren't a part of.

The evacuation was much more orderly and organized than the disappointing fiasco we experience when Tropical Storm Rita hit. We even ran out today to fill the Sequoia up with gas, grab a few more things from Wal-Mart and had lunch at Wendy's.

The winds are just now gusting up, so we just have to hopefully sleep from 1am to 7am and then we're good. The eye path forecast as plotted on Google Maps shows it passing just a couple miles east of us and curving more to the east so maybe we'll mostly get winds from the North and not quite so much rain.
