Hurricane IKE


We just wanted everyone to know that we are ready and prepared for IKE to hit us. Right now it's estimated that landfall will happen sometime tonight, around 1:00 AM CDT. We're pretty much in the projected path, but luckily we're far enough inland that we should not be affected by the storm surge or any of the main flooding. We're expecting to get winds in excess of 75-85 MPH, for at least 10 straight hours. Thankfully, we are prepared with food and water in the event we lose power and other utilities and we hope we'll be able to ride this out. Please keep us in your prayers and we'll try to keep ya'll updated as soon as it has cleared.
