The eye of Hurricane Ike is now projected to pass over my part of town within 48 hours! We are projected to get 90-100 mph winds INLAND.
We bought 80 pieces of plywood for three of us last year and stored it in our warehouse. Now we are digging it out for distibution. My boss picked up three generators yesterday as well.
Just as Bill mentioned in an earlier thread, we too have all vehicle and propane tanks filled and water & food in place. Plywood installation will begin this eveing.
The City of Houston closed most operations today and appears will be completely closed tomorrow (as will the mini city in which I live). Though most have left already, essentially now everyone within 10 miles of the coast is being told to evacuate. That amounts to nearly TWO million people evacuating and another 3-1/2 million wondering, "Should I leave?"
Tidal surge in Galveston is projected 12-20'. yIKES!

P.S. - If you are a stock market player, now would be a good time to short a few insurance and re-insurance companies.
