Hi y'all, hope everyone got through the storm OK!  I evacuated to the Westside of Houston and rode it out with friends over there.  If that was Cat 2, I want nothing to do with Cat 4 or 5!!

I don't know if power every completely went out at my place, but currently we have very dim lights & slow fans, not enough juice to run a fridge or A/C.  Still, most of Montrose doesn't even have that, so I feel lucky to be able to watch the news.  I've been back at work since Thursday and may be spending more time there until my apt gets full power, since the lab has A/C & internet.

I took a few shots on my way home from work yesterday, mostly right around my apartment, so take a look at my Ike photoset on Flickr.  Here's a few:

For once, it's NOT time to make the donuts.

This weather radio was the best purchase I've made in awhile!!
