We'll do fine. See, you are forgetting that it's Texas, not Louisiana :D

what part of sugar land, I'm at HWy 6 and old richmond, north side. I've been through a couple hurricanes a bunch of tornados so i'm not to worried. some of us usually head to the island 3 days before this stuff, weren't able to this time and missed some decent surf.

Hey Whiteman, we're really close to you :).  I'm in New Territory.

Like Beulah, Ike is moving slow and carrying a big stick.

Got something in common with you and your Ban stick skuzzy!  :P :P

Good speed everyone, I hope to see you all on the other side

Downtown Houston is Closed, catestophic damage... 2.8 million still without power. Mongomery County (Conroe area) will not have power for 2-4 weeks, due to Catesrophic power failure (think a sub-station is gone)... I heard 3 dead in Galveston, not confirmed officially. I have power in Katy Tx, though my Parents do not (Fulshear, TX). NO Ice anywhere, barely any gas, Lines are outta hand. Thank goodness I filled up before this all hit.

Worst part is we slammed by a nasty storm front last night, Bringing more rain than the hurricaine did... Which flooded most of the Houston area and surrounding areas even more. People were trapped in Houston homes because of Bayou Flooding and downed trees blocking streets.

Thansk for the toughts, concerns, calls,  and comments!! More to come, gotta clean up.

Edit: As far as my House damage; Shingles ripped off roof, minor Leaking now. Fence is bent in, thankfully not down though. Satelite dish is bent to pieces, so no TV for 2 weeks or more. Garage Door broken, should be fixable.

Glad to hear you fared relatively well bmathis.

My In-Laws are in Highlands (over between Baytown & Crosby). Their land used to be filled with giant pecan trees, which are now all over the land & the house. TxDad took our teenager there to help with the clean up.  They still don't have power, but have a generator. So as far as they're concerned they're in high cotton.
