Getting Ready for Ike!

So, people have been trying to get ahold of me about hurricane Ike, so I thought I would do a quick post so that everyone knows. Yes, Hurricane Ike is supposedly coming this way, and no we have not evacuated. Chris and I are right in downtown Houston, and we have all been told to stay where we are to prepare for the storm instead of getting on the roads and clogging them up. I am a little nervous because I have never been in a storm like this, but Chris and I are prepared so we should be fine. We are in a concrete building on the 5th floor so we are not too worried about the actual storm. It is supposed to be a category 3 hurricane when it hits land, but that is when it hits Galveston, so hopefully it will be a Cat. 2 when it gets to us. They say we could be without power for a week or so, but we have a lot of dried food and batteries, etc. It will be like we are camping in our apartment :) So....I guess I will post again after the storm sometime and let you all know how it went!
