Ike

This is my first hurricane. Last time one hit this area we moved down a week later and "missed out". My husband has been called into work in an area that is close to the storm so I am praying that he stays safe. We are North of the storm but have already started to get bad wind and the power has flickered a few times. I am sure we'll loose power soon, as wind knocks the power out here often. We are under a tornado watch until the morning so it ought to be interesting how thigns go as Ike makes landfall.
