Ike Update

Wind gusts are picking up, and we're about 2-3 hours from the heaviest. Our area is still only supposed to get maximum sustained winds of 55 knots which is under hurricane strength, so I'm not so worried about the pines (which are all very tall, established and healthy). When we weathered Rita, there was a tree in our yard with a big weird horizontal branch that knocked into the roof right over our bed all night. We don't have that problem in this house, so I'm hoping I'll get a better night's sleep than I did with Rita.

Anyways, the boys are asleep in our room, the hurricane parties are winding down and I'm unplugging all expensive electronics.
