Hurricane Ike

I thought it best to post a little about Hurricane Ike. This storm is on every network all day long. It's going to be a whopper of a storm...for those near Houston and Galveston. But for us in San Antonio it's going to be one big thunderstorm. The hype has been huge, and granted they didn't know quite where it was going to go at first, so better to be prepared...but it's just not going to make it here. I am thankful for that. Even so, I have turned my trampoline over and put rocks on it, I have brought in our patio furniture, and pushed things up against the house. I have filled two of our 55 gallon water containers and charged the batteries on the portable DVD players. I am ready for a day or two without power...if I have to. So even if nothing happens...I've done some of the emergency preparedness I should have been doing anyways. Thank you Ike!!
