[Update 5:50pm CDT]

It’s been a pretty boring day since everything is closed. Our beautiful, sunny day is now more overcast and showing the signs of getting stormy. We have been playing lots of Excite Truck and Guitar Hero III. This afternoon, we drove around the Montrose area and looked at lots of condos. It was fun. :)

As of last night (Wednesday), I didn’t think that Ike would have much of an impact on Houston. Apparently, things have changed since last night and it’s supposed to roll this direction as a cat 3 hurricane. Rumor is that the zip code for Baytown (where I work) is under mandatory evacuation, so I should be leaving work early today and staying home tomorrow. I don’t think the impact will be too bad in Houston. We’ll have high winds (up to 100mph) and rain, but the impact will be much less than the coast. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. This storm’s been changing directions a lot, so nobody really knows what will go on. I’ll keep you posted with any details I have.
