Ike Update 4

It is nearing 9:30 pm and the winds are picking up. We just experienced a quick gust that probably neared 50 miles an hour.

No rain yet, but there is lightening flashing in the distance.

We are under a tornado watch until 10 am tomorrow. So far, Waller county is not under the watch. But, we still feel that we made the best decision to leave.

The pictures coming out of Galveston are scary...and the eye is still 4 or 5 hours away.

Know that we are all doing okay. In many ways it seems like any other evening...babies crying and ready for bed, meals shared and lots of 'remember when'.

Have I told you how glad I am to be with my family right now?

We have cancelled Meagan's bridal shower which was scheduled for Sunday. (no, duh?) And we are hoping that the wedding still comes off as planned in two weeks. We may have to rent generators for the wedding venue!

If you are keeping an eye on the news and are seeing the satellite views of Southeast Texas...we are the county due left of Harris County (Houston) that is shaped like an upside down 'L'. We are in the extreme northeast corner of that county. That should help you better understand what news affects us and what doesn't. All of that surf stuff...not us!

Well, as always, thanks for stopping by and checking on us. We will update as we can!
