Ready for Ike

Ike is coming.

And I was right, the end of the week was crazy. Wednesday we were still thinking it might go further south. But Wednesday night it was clear it was turning north, towards us.

When I made it up to work I checked and our apartment was in a mandatory evacuation zone and Ike was headed towards us.

We rushed to get the office packed up and ready and I came home at noon and we started getting ready. We taped the windows and moved breakable stuff away from the windows and put anything important in the closets.

David and I are weathering the storm at my parents, for the simple fact of more interior spaces. Plus I just feel safer in a house. I am pretty confident we will ride it out fine here.

They told us that about noon conditions would start to deteriorate, and they were right. The winds are really starting to blow. We are hoping to keep power for as long as possible.

Here we go.
