Ike, Part Three

It's about 6 pm, and we've started to get some strong gusts in our neighborhood. Very little in the way of rain so far, but it will come soon enough.

The track really hasn't changed much since last night. Right now, it's pretty clear that this thing is going to go right over my house:

It's been 25 years since Alicia and in that time we've dodged a lot of bullets (although Allison certaintly did its share of damage even though it was "only" a tropical storm). We're simply due for a big one.

This looks like it is it.
