So Hau just instant messaged me awhile ago and was like, “How’s the weather?”  At first, I kind of forgot the situation we were having and I thought it was one of those retarded “Nice weather we’re having” type of pick up lines.  But yea, so I decided to go check on thing outside.  The weather’s not that bad.  It’s pretty windy, but I can still fall down when I lean into the wind, so there’s still nothing to see yet.  Now if I were able to lean forward into the wind and have the gust push against my body weight to where I cant fall down, THEN you know you’ve got something on your hands.

Here’s the image from StormPulse on Hurricane Ike.

It’s a little bit past 10:00PM and if you look closely, you can see that the eye of the storm is about 100 miles away from Houston.  Some areas of Houston, such as Bellaire, have already lost electricity but up here in NW Houston, things are still somewhat okay.  My lights have been flickering and internet connection has been going on and off…and I still have homework to finish up!

So, after I finish my homework, I’ll go take a hot shower before things get dark and water gets messed up.  For now, hope everyone else is bunkered down with a fully charged laptop and a couple of long movies to get through this very boring night!  See ya when the power comes back!
