The rain and winds I dont mind, its the tornados I dont want to see...
Same here. This will be interesting.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Check out this interactive map, recently updated... This doesn't look very good. This map has the Eye wall slaming into right where I live...

its hard to predict, it seems like every 8 hours or so their track predications move more north and east.  It now looks like it will miss the Austin area, and maybe just a little bit in a corner of my county (Bastrop)

Maybe Lousiana is sucking so bad its pulling Ike that way...

I live on the NE side of Houston, we stay for cat 3 and below.  Floods around here pretty good and I live a block from lake Houston and the San Jacinto river.




My wife graduated from Humble HS in 84, and I lived there for a few years after I got out of the USAF.  Also lived in Huffman, right on Lake Houston.... used to flood alot during heavy rains....

Sorry about this picture spam, but this is for the guys on the other side of town that may just get jacked up by the storm...
