Hurricane Ike

Keeping you gals close in thought and prayer. I hope there is minimal damage and that your families are safe.

Just watched the weather and as it stands now, starting Fri. night and going through Saturday, S.A. is expecting sustained winds of 40-60 mph, with gusts from 60-80, with tornadoes, and 6" or more of rain. I just double-checked the batteries in my flashlight, and I've got plenty of cat food for the kitties...I'm set!

The sucky thing is I'm supposed to be at work at 4 a.m. on Saturday.

Adding my prayers to those before me... Everyone be safe!

Jacky- My mother's job keeps very close tabs on what the state is doing on evacuations and predictions. Anywho, right now she said they speculate this storm will follow a path like Carla of 1961 and Austin should anticipate 6" of rain. If that ends up true we are in for a wild and wooly weekend. Mom said Carla brought wind damage, hail damage, tornadoes and floods. I better check those emergency supplies after all, just in case! I think the fur kids are actually low on food as we speak.

Of course the path is changing very rapidly so I may be riding my bike in the dry heat this weekend. It is wrong to say but I am quite bored waiting with all the media speculation right now!
