It is 9:30 pm on Friday night. The winds have just started here. We are supposed to be getting 70 mph gusts...think about driving down the road at 70 and sticking your face out the window!
Damage to mobile homes, down small or rotten trees, large tree limbs break, things left outside will be projectiles..etc. Not real bad, but bad enough for me!
I am at the Emergency Operations Office just waiting it out. Will probably be here until Sat afternoon. By then, hopefully it will have passes.
We were on the very West fringe of Ike. We had alot of wind and gusts, but nothing like the National Weather predicted, thank goodness! I stayed in the Emergency Operations office all night Friday night. By about 10 am Sat we realized we would not get the full force and were able to go home.
I just look at Houston and think that could have been us! How lucky we are....but pray for those that were in the path of Ike!!!
