Parts of Galveston island are starting to evacuate. Mostly on the west end where there's no sea wall. Matagorda county I under a mandatory evacuation...the whole county.

Unless there is a deviation from past storm events and we have solid cloud cover all day, there will be a heck of a pretty sunset tonight. Ike hit around 11pm and the sunset that evening was spectacular.

Make sure you get some good photos. I LOVE "calm before the storm" cloud shots. Some of my favorite photos are of storm clouds.

Now that's how a true Texan Hurricane rider prepares for a big storm!!!

Great idea.... Minor little problem like I've got 2 yrs and 5 months before I can retire. It would be quite a commute if I moved before, lol!

It's called buy your retirement land, build your home and get it the way you want it, sell out when you retire and MOVE. That's what @Mike CHS did and it worked for him and his wife! 2years and 5 months sounds like a adequate time to get things situated before the retirement countdown!

I'm a great enabler.......how am I doing?

We worked on our place for over 3 years and we really appreciate having much of the hard work already done.

A friend of ours had a beach house on the Boliver Peninsula that we went to. Hurricane Ike destroyed everything.

Is that storm making a turn yet?

You are a goof.

I had a neighbor pound on my door one morning to tell me about a fire that was on the road behind me, about 600' from my house. I looked out the window, yep, saw the smoke and said. "I'm going to take a shower". What else could I do with 60 goats, 6 dogs, 4 cats, 2 birds, numerous chickens, and no warning? Figured I get that shower before the power went out. No power, no well.

Now it looks like @frustratedearthmother is under tornado warning too.
