Ike

I just took some pics at Gulf Trace, but I have no idea how to post. If someone directs me I will post them.

I know I don't have to tell most of y'all this, but folks with water higher in their yards than usual - like me :roll: - be careful, especially if you have to go out in the dark. Take a BA flashlight and shine it ALL around. Moccasins like high water, but rattlers don't and they may be trying to relocate. Not to mention other critters.

And now I've just talked myself out of walking the dog.

I just came in from checking the water level. That was the most nerve wrecking walk out the dock ever. I was scanning for the big arse snake Ed saw today in our garden plus its brothers, sisters, gators, I don't know what all.

I feel like we are the family in The Yearling...out here in the wilds of Florida with critters, snakes, floods, the whole family has "the infection", hope the dogs don't get that hydrophobe and the crops don't die!!!

Folks need to calm down. It's coming in as a cat 2, 60 mph sustained winds tops, and maybe a 15 foot storm surge, and that's it. The coast should be evacuated, but other than that, I'd say things inland will be just fine, assuming you have a solid place to hunker down in.

There predicting a little bit more than a 15 ft surge.

Anyone heard about some flooding on Holiday Isle, possible flooding some floors of Jetty East Condominium?

The images on the weather channel are pretty intense. Galviston must be one very low level island - it looks like the water just flowed right over it.

I posted on the other Ike thread...Galveston is in trouble.

Gas will be 6 dollars a gallon by monday!:angry:

I hope my college girlfriend in Galvestonevacuated. Last email said they were leaving after they finished payroll for their company.
