Here Comes Ike!!!!!

Ike is getting closer and it looks like we will be a direct hit. We are about to head out to my parents' house where we will ride it out. The girls are scared so pray for their little nerves. They think it will strengthen to a 3 before hitting but it isn't as organized and strong as they had previously predicted. There is some flooding already in Galveston and there isn't any rain, it's the storm surge. That is the biggest fear, the water. I will update you all as I can. My parents will have power thanks to the generator but I'm not sure an Internet connection will be available.
