[Dialogue] IKE

[opossum2 at att.net]

Pat,

Thanks.  We live in the Montrose area of Houston (about 3 miles southwest of the city center).  At the moment we're experiencing dead calm with occasional gusts up to about 25 mph.  Oonagh and I with about 8 of our neighbors were sitting out on the front lawn and steps two hours ago having drinks and watching the cloud swirls to the southeast.  We're in for the duration now, and expecting the first really tropical storm winds (35-70 mph) around 10 pm - midnight.  The eye should be over around 3 am.  

I'll keep you posted if the electricity and internet stay up.

Regards, and tell Dan that we have enough Irish Whiskey to see this through.

Steve Rhea
Houston, Tx.

Here’s hoping our Texas and Louisiana colleagues and families have hunkered down somewhere safe.
Though I’m far from my home turf, I always have my own Hurricane Watch Party when one is heading toward my home country. 
You will be in my thoughts & heart as we track Ike. Be safe.
Pat
