Hurricane Ike - where will you be?

[Lady Ann of Draycott]

We will be riding it out at our house in La Grange (Fayette County). We still are not sure how bad it will be here.  They are still saying that we could get wind gusts of up to 75 mph on Saturday.  We are bringing everything we can inside and hoping for the best.

Stay safe everyone!

Been a lot of discussion on all these hurricanes.

I'm up in Carrollton, but several family members have evacuated off Padre and the rest in Clear Lake were supposed to finish boarding up and head north this morning. I'm still waiting on that update.

Toki's mom and two brothers are sticking it out in Corpus. We sure hope they are all right but she and them have done this before. We keep our praying to Mother Earth to watch over them.

Unless a tornado kicks up and takes my roof away, I'm good, and plenty supplied with alcohol in the Heights.

All the best to you all, computer will be shut down shortly after reading a bit more. Is there any news on our Captain Darkke?

Damn, just saw the weather report....can I go to Serendipity now? Rambling, I know...battening down hatches....

Later, y'all, see you on the other side,

Hoping and praying everyone in the faire-mily that's in the path makes it through ok,. We're looking at three times as much rain up here in Denton as we've had over the past few days but I doubt that'll be much compared to ya'll.

*hugs all around* Please keep checking in.

We are staying put just south of Tomball, with plenty of coleman fuel and food.  Gonna pull in all the loose stuff from the yard.  I'm gonna be really bored if the power goes out...

[Lady Rochelle]

Staying at home here in Splendora, I will go into work tomorrow at 290 /beltway8  but all should be allright. Im just worried about the flooding and trees coming down. Im a camper so no power  is no biggie, have all the necessary implements.

Ike is HUGE! Dang! He's taking up the whole gulf.

Hunkerdown and be careful even after the storm has passed. Be safe.

I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts this weekend.

[SolRac]

May leave tomorrow morning (4:00am) depending what they say tonight at 1000 If we do leave we are going to my best friends house off 290 and Jones. Take care everyone be safe!

[Chianti]

Hunkering down in Cypress.  Got the day off tomorrow so my son and I will be hanging at the house and I will hopefully get some sewing done.  Luckily I have a lot of hand sewing to do incase the power goes out.

Staying in Katy.  After the mess with Rita, I'm never never never doing the evacuation bit again.

I had brought my generator, gas, and a window A/C to my in-laws in Baton Rouge last week.  When Ike started looking scary, I ran and bought another set -- luckily did it a few days before the stores got crazy.

[KeeperoftheBar]

I'll be staying in my house in NW Houston near Copperfield.  Got food, fuel, light and beer.  Luckily we decided to close the office at noon today till Monday.

Stay dry everyone and please no Wizard of Oz reinactments.

No worries here in Grapevine. Even if flash-flooding occurs, I'm on a hill so thats no problem. Tornados are a whole other issue, but odds are in my favor.

I do have 12 relatives up here that evacuated out of Lake Jackson, Houston, and even Beaumont (though I thought that was not really in Ike's path). Four of which are crashed out in my living room currently.

These forced family reunions are always so much fun......!

Best of luck to all of you that are ridin out out down there. Nothin better than gettin sauced and watchin a storm blow through!

[MacLaren]

Now where the devil did that bottle of rum get off to.....sorry, Teach, I'll have to get you another
