Hurricane Ike

Earlier this week, Hurricane Ike was forcast to hit Corpus Christi as a catagory 4 hurricane. This would mean that the hurricane would come straight up IH 37 and would still be a catagory 1 hurricane when it hit New Braunfels. We were forcast to get a lot of rain and 70+ mph winds. Everyone rushed out to buy water, canned foods, and generators for power loss. I try to have most of these things on hand all of the time anyways because you never know when the power might go out. I did have to get water though. Schools were released early or closed all together.
Hurrican Ike came ashore Saturday morning in Galveston, much farther east than previously predicted. We have beautiful sunny skys, a light breeze, and no sign of rain. All in all I think we survived the hurricane quite well :). All joking aside I do have family in the Houston area that choose to ride out the storm so I do hope all is well with them.
