We woke up a bunch of times through the night last night to turn on the TV and watch coverage of Ike on the Weather Channel. If you're not familiar with the area, we live on the west side of I-45, in League City. The Weather Channel was broadcasting all night from Nassau Bay/Clear Lake on the East side of I-45. Our house is on the western side of that and so the front/western eye and eyewall went right over our house.
I have heard reports from some people that stayed that there hasn't been power in certain areas since 6pm last night, and others didn't lose power until 5am today. Either way, I'm sure there's no power at our house at the moment.
Hopefully later on today it will be safe enough to venture out and someone will be able to give us a report on our home. We'll see. Good times all around...not really.
If you're interested in the local Houston news, a friend sent a great link to us that is better than the Weather Channel for the local updates:
www.maroonspoon.com has Ike coverage.
Still safe and sound in San Antonio.
