Ike: Friday Morning

Looks like the 10am model doesn't change the track much. We are all ready here. Just have to move the patio furniture in when Ryan gets home from work. The overnight models showed Ike at a Category 3 at landfall. Now it is back to showing a Category 2. Hope that is true.

The images from Galveston are frightening. The water is crashing and splashing over the seawall already. The west end of the Island is already flooding. We have three friends with beach houses, one out on the Bolivar Penisula, just east of Galveston Island, and the other two in Jamaica Beach on the Western side of the Island. No matter what this storm does now, it's not looking good for these beach houses. We are really thinking about these families.

The weather right now is awesome. Here is a picture from our back porch from 10am this morning. I will try to take and post more pictures from the same location as the day progresses.
