Our road twists and bends, but it never ends
As Ike moves up and across the coast from Galveston, you can watch a live radar track. Click here for NOAA’s weather radar. Click here for a more 3D version of the same information. Be sure to toggle on the radar overlay on the second map; the button is on the right side of the screen.
It’s blowing here, though we expect the wind to peak in about four hours.
Ike is making his presence known. County Judge Emmit says: be off the roads by 6:30 when we will begin having hurricane strength winds across the Houston metropolitan area. Police Chief Hurt stepped up and said there will be a curfew beginning at 7pm till dawn. Those pretty ted bands are now kissing the banks of the gulf coast. Time for wine!
Since we are certain to lose power, Stella and Zuzu teamed up to create ice bags. When the lights go out, we will put these in the fridge to keep things cool.
Kate has taken it upon herself to mend one of Stella’s dress-up clothes. We are getting dinner ready; cooking up stuff from the freezer. Just heard 10,000 households are already without power.
