OH NO! It's HURRICANE IKE!!!!Well, as of 8 AM this morning, Hurricane Ike is headed almost directly for us! Nathan, who is a native Texan, assures me that all will be fine. I trust him; he's been through quite a few hurricanes in his lifetime. So, to take precautionary measures, we've boarded up the house, filled up our cars with gas (and them some more in containers) and bought ice, gallons and gallons of water, as well as canned foods. We've got hurricane lamps, candles, flashlights and of course, UNO! :) We've also stored up about 40 gallons of water in the bathrooms since the water to our home is run on a well, we will lose not only lights, but water usage if power goes out. They are now predicting over 100 mph winds, so we're making sure we are set and ready to go in case of anything.
Funny thing happened this morning. Nathan and his dad boarded up the house into the wee hours of the morning late last night. The rest of us all slept in this morning....there is virtually NO sunlight in our house now...we all thought it was 4 am when really it was 8 am!! Craziness!
Here are a few pics of our preparations...
