Ike is still 90 minutes from official landfall on the TX coast. Over 450,000 people are without power. There is an anticipated $9 Billion in property loss.
We are trying to keep our home and its contents. I slept for an hour this evening, 9-10, anticipating being up all night. Jim and Zoe (the dog) are peacefully snoring in bed for the last couple of hours. I’ll awaken Jim before it really hits so we can move the electronics away from the window (where I am now sitting).
The sound of the wind is unlike anything I’ve ever heard. We’re hoping the windows hold.
More on the other side, Dee

Peran got kicked out of his Beaumont motel on Thursday; the rain started sprinkling on me this AM as I went down to the barn…
Batten down the hatches & hang in there.
