Hi friends and family! As you know, Hurricane Ike is presently set to make landfall here in Houston sometime Friday night / Saturday morning.
At this time, mandatory evacuations have been ordered for much of the city, but Kari ad I are safely outside the surge zone, and out of a flood area. We are subject to the wind and rain however, and are preparing for infrastructure loss. We can’t do much during the storm, but we have duct-tape and tarp for covering windows afterwords if needed.
We have friends we can stay with as needed, and I can work from TranStar once we lose power/connectivity.
Just be warned that our cell phones are already acting up, and we’ll probably leave them powered off to conserve battery life for when we may need it.
To get more information about us, keep coming back here. To get more info about the storm, check out the links below:

Keep us in your prayers!
