the jaws theme in my head keeps getting louder...

so ike is coming! on monday they said that if freeport got a direct hit, that would be the worst senerio for houston... putting us in the full brunt of the 'dirty side.' on my way to work monday i passed this guy on the road and it made me laugh... now, not so much!



his plates are from louisianna, so chances are he's just headed from after running from gustav
well, forward to 3 days later, and he all of the sudden looks like a smart guy! landfall is predicted between freeport and galveston. last night we found several gas stations out of gas, and today the lines at the ones that still have it are crazy long!
when i got to work this morning they were already boarding up. here's the view from my office. it looks like night time! its depressing in here :(



and here's the view from the outside of the shop. pretty ominous!



we still aren't sure if we are boarding up or not. we have wood, since we are going to finish off the attic for storage. 
we did get some screws and hurricane clips though. 

brandt is emergency personel, so he is not allowed to leave. not that we would, we aren't in a flood/surge area. but he will prob be stuck at the station, leaving me home alone. so under well, everyone's orders, i am packing up me and our zoo and heading to the in-laws. so there will be 5 people, 2 kitties, and 7 dogs. ranging from great dane to chihuahua. i'm sure we will be safe, just worried about my hub, hopefully he won't be out in the streets when we get the worst of it!
ill keep everyone posted! stay dry!

I hope that you all didn't get any damage from the storm and stayed safe and dry. We did good just alot of limbs down but still no power. Someone told us November but I believe that they must be wrong.....Lord, please let them be wrong!!
