My prayers to all that are in the path of Ike. I just looked at the link that was posted and WOW - it's HUGE! I live in the Florida Panhandle and we have been having a lot of winds today and we are expected to have rain tonight and tomorrow.
My in-laws live near Port Arthur/Orange (TX) and are not planning to leave. They think because they survived Rita they will be fine. :bang:

There is a place called Treasure Island in Galveston Co. It is situated between the gulf and the bay. They asked the residents what they expected to find when they come back. A few started tearing up and said they expect to see basically just sticks.
One lady says the sees the signs. The pelicans have flown north, the direction the flags are flying. Water is starting to come up through the ground already.

LOL Hey, when my cat, Kato, died in Feb. I got another one and he looks like your beer cat. He even strikes that same pose sometimes.

Overreaching
We are hunkered down here in Fort Bend County (about an hour from Galveston to the northwest.)
We're not in the evacuation zone, we expect to get some strong winds and some rain, but no storm surge (obviously) and since it is predicted to move quickly through the area, the wind intensity will be intense but relatively brief.
The good news about it being such a big storm is that the wind strength might be spread over a broader area and lessened, instead of a more concentrated and deadly smaller core. That's good news overall, if that is true.
The gas stations in our neighborhood ran out of gas around noon. We filled up for the generator earlier in the week, along with other supplies. Today we did outside prep, tomorrow we do the inside stuff.
We appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers and especially for our friends closer to the coast.

from my experience-the weaker pines snap like twigs
I think pine trees are dangerous.
