I Still Don't Like Ike

Ike's landfall has moved much closer to us.  There's no mandatory evacuation here because the rule of thumb for hurricanes is to "run from the water, hide from the wind."  We're in no danger of flooding (supposedly), so we'll hide from the wind.  We  have storm windows, and we shouldn't be in extreme danger.  The main thing that worries us is the loss of electricity.  We'll have to see  how it all plays out.  Things don't look good at the moment.
