Ike - YIKES!

Our new motto - Run from the Water, Hide from the Wind.



Well the Christie Chrew is hunkering down in preparation of Hurricane Ike which is bearing down on the Texas Gulf Coast. We have discussed our plans all week and finally decided this morning that we would ride out the storm in Tomball.



According to the latest track, also known as the cone of confusion, the storm will make landfall between Freeport, TX and Galveston, TX. Once it comes ashore it appears to turn due North and take a path east of downtown Houston which puts us on the "good" side of the storm. There is a website published by the Houston Office of Emergency Management that depicts Max sustained winds. Looks like we will be just below Hurricane strength winds about daybreak on Saturday. Here is a line to that site http://www.houstonhidefromthewind.org

I came home from the office about noon today to start bring all loose items inside and getting everything ready. The lines at the gas stations were crazy! Thank goodness we are tought to stay prepared for these types of things. We will keep everyone posted on how things turn out here and will probably have some pictures and some video to document this for everyone. Talk to all of you soon........
