Well Ike is under way of destroying Galveston. The weather man just said that in my area we might see anywhere from 30 to 70 mph winds. I am an hour southeast of San Antonio. 

Did you know that 35% of the nations fuels are supplied by the refineries in the Houston area?
I heard that fuels along the Texas Coast are already around $5 a gallon.

About the fuel: I called it yesterday. I listened to NPR radio and heard an interview with a local. They said they were evacuating the refineries. So, I went and got gas after work at 3.44 a gallon...today: $3.59. Crazy 

About Ike: Expecting up to 20 ft surge. I have been to galveston before. I don't think any of that Island is more than 20 ft above sea level-yikes!

Got the call from our friends in Beaumont..errr...I mean Arkansas for the weekend. Evacuted this morning. That bugger turned north, I was hoping it wouldn't. Good luck all you guys down there!

Matt,
hope everything is ok for you, give me a call if you guys need anything at all.

I am sorry for wishing it away disco.    I live an hour south of San Antonio and we were the target 2 days ago. Now it is heading towards you and my future/father-inlaw who lives on the NW side of H -Town. But it is still 1 1/2 days away so it is still anybodies ball game.

How bout them Astro's ?   

Same father-in-law that doesn't know about your "Living arrangements"


You're going to hell for wishing that Hurricane on his house Matt. 



No worries though, I'll be running the place by the time you get down there 

All in know is that I won't be lonely in HELL!       Aaron

Slow steady rain here in East TX (LA border).....I think most of it is past us now

Ike's history.....Amazing how far these storms travel. The remainder of Ike is now in Michigan.
