I still don't like Ike

Of course I have no idea how things are at my place specifically, but based on the data from the Eagle point weather station - less than a mile from my house, I think the lower floor of the house is flooded. Kathy put a lot of the things we valued most in the bottom floor up on the second level, before she got out. I never returned home, since it would have been insane to go all the way from Intercontinental airport south to San Leon, and then back north and west to Kerrville with the rest of the evac traffic.

Hopefully the roof stayed on well enough, although I expect we lost shingles. Things are covered in plastic there.

A latin tag came to me this morning - Nil Desperandum. Never despair.
