Ike's on his way.... Stay safe

[FROG MAN]

The storm is moving quicker now. Less time to strengthen and still moving north.It might hit now friday evening and the eye path projections are shifting farther north every few hours.

That surge doesn't look like much fun. Seems the water part is gonna be the worst part. These storms spread out when they've been up to cat 4 or 5 and then come down. That's a nasty storm. You folks please stay safe.

Private setup away from the main house. Room for another vehicle as well under the same rv cover. I am about 15 miles west of Fort Worth in Aledo, Texas. Could house two or three quite comfortably and for free. My number is listed on this site. Let me know as any member here is more than welcome.

Thanks. Biggest problem in one of the hardest hit areas - Baton Rouge - is keeping the electricity going. At one point after Gustav, all of BR was out of power. Now most of it had power. Now we are losing power again today - THANKS, IKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

While I have a generator, it is not the same as living in a house with central air, TV, Cold fridge, etc.

 

Oh well, could live in the land of snow - only over my wife's dead body. She refuses to live north of I20. Ah well, atleast I don't have to shovel snow and when the hurricanes aren't blowing us around, can ride the bike more
