Hurricane Ike is brewing in the gulf. It is projected to make landfall in my back yard some time very early on Saturday. The weatherman is estimating winds will be 75-125mph when it gets to us. We have many very very tall trees within a stone's throw from my house. They are really suggesting that people in my area shelter in place, but we are going to bug out. Steven's mom has a nice safe house about 150 miles further inland......Hurricane Ike seems like a great reason to go for a visit.
Now I have to spend the day making preparations. We most likely will not have power when we return so we have to fill up our water storage barrels(because our well won't work). I need to pack up some clothes for the kids. and get everyone ready to go. Thank goodness for all of the preparations we have done in advance. We have a well stocked 72-hour kit and loads of bottled water and food. No worries. This should be fun!
