Well it looks like Ike is going to hit us head on. We live in League city, right next to Galveston and we're under a mandatory evacuation. So what am I doing? Making money putting up my neighbors storm windows. :eek: We put ours up earlier in the week, and they waited and are in a panic. here's hoping everything goes well.

Scott,

I'd say take you and your wife and temporarily move to a safer spot north of League City and get your equipment to a safe spot as well. Hurricanes are not something you want to take a chance with. Most of my relatives live in New Orleans and after going there and seeing the damage first hand, it can turn disastrous quickly. Keep us updated and be safe!
 
We probably will move but not till tomorrow. We will get everything secured today, and jump on the motorcycles and skip traffic. Ive got family near conroe and San antonio so we have places to go, but figured we could make some extra $ before we go. Now all of our neighbors are asking us to do theirs. We may market this next year.

I live in an area that has the worst utility services. I'm 100 miles N of Galveston and they think that we'll have cat 1 winds up here.

My power IS going down. I scrambled to find a generator yesterday at Home D --I picked up a window unit too.

I hope that everyone hunkers down --

I'm pouring cocktails during this with ac tv internet etc... hopefully prob dial up...

Texas guys hang tough... Call me if you have some problems...
:eek:
 
Where to take 9 dogs and 6 puppies, if one of the puppies is a full bread great dane (male) then I will take ONE as far as the other 14, the pound.... or a chinese rest.
 
Looks like we dodged another bullet. Take care you guys. These cat 2and 3 hurricanes are no joke. Be Safe!

Screw you hippie, If there are trees that need clearing, im buying a skid steer with a log attachment. lol. But im sure there will be plenty of work to go around, so yes, i do have an extra room.
 
The think is poised to run up I-45 out of Galveston straight through me!
the storms do tend to float near shore too --so -- it could come in east of Galveston which would help some... bringing the dirty side east of us.

It's SO BIG though ...


We're toast on utilities though...

Scott D ( Dickenson, TX ) and areas tward the coast ( Galveston ) are going to get it first.
The tide surge has already started. Water is up to the seawall in Galveston. The seawall is 17' above sea level. Lets pray it doesnt rise any higher.
 
We have wind starting to pick up and the storm is still 175 milse SE of Galveston.

I'm trying to stay online as long as possible -- I'll be on 56K if possible in the AM Generator etc.

We have huge pines up here and some will be coming down. Power poles will be snapping and lines flying around.

This will be a mess... It's looking ugly...

Next comes gas prices look out...
