Ike: Beginning to Make Landfall

Ike is beginning to make landfall. The winds down in Galveston are sustaining at about 60mph from what I hear on the news. The eye is still 5-6 hours out.

We have still not felt much up in The Woodlands yet. The wind is definitely picking up in gusts, but no rain yet. It's actually a kind of pretty sky view from the back patio.

We have eaten dinner, what may be our last electricity cooked meal for a few days, lets hope not.

More later, I hope.
