The winds are picking up here. Still haven't had a drop of rain. Galveston is reading close to 70mph winds according to the TV. The eyewall is still about 4 hours from hitting land.
We are already getting a little stir crazy. We don't want to pull out the books and bored games so that we aren't tired of them when we actually need them. But Friday night TV, when all the majors are on Ike, is pretty boring.
Whoa, big gusts of wind just now, it's coming down the chimney and really making a sound. I hate that its dark outside and I can't see the trees. We just went outside and looked around some. The taller trees are really swaying and if we get the 80mph sustained winds that are predicted, there will be lots of down trees in our area. We think our house is pretty safe as most of the tall trees have been cut down!
More later, I hope.
