Ike found his way to Galveston just about 13 hours ago. Since then he's scoured parts of Texas and Louisiana and most of Arkansas. Ike has finally reached us in the 'Burg. Thankfully he seems to be moving pretty quickly. I checked out the pictures from Galveston, Houston, and parts of Louisiana. Devastating. I received word from Meme in Conway. Despite the tornadoes, wind, and rain they're doing fine and weathering the storm. It looks as if we will have several more hours of rain. But there's a forecast for a week of sunshine with highs in the mid 70s and lows in the 50s. Today's high is only supposed to be 66! W00T!
Before Ike decided to visit we experienced several days of rain and some seriously oppressive humidity. Enough that the ground is saturated and Ike's precipitous precipitation is standing in puddles and mini-lakes around the house. We even have a river in our basement. Coming, from all places, the center of the foundation, beneath the garage. Thankfully there's a drain in the basement.
Who would have thought that I might actually ride out more hurricanes this season than my mum in Florida? Should we keep score? And what's up with Josephine. Lord help us if she lives up to her name!

You bet Josephine! That would be really some storm if she came our way.
Love Mom
