Time to Leave?

The Weather Channel has posted Jim Cantore in Galveston! SCREECH!!

Somehow Cantore always ends up in the place where the eye of the storm passes. Ike's going to hit land at Cat 3, maybe Cat 4. Even if the beastie ends up in Galveston, it's going to be fairly nasty here in Beaumont, since we'll be on the "wrong" side of the storm.

The bags are mostly packed. They need to go into the car.

Cantore was musing that the window of opportunity for evacuation was beginning to close.

But I'm still dithering over whether to leave or not.

Can you hear the fear ratcheting up? I can!

Not a problem at all!

The decision to bail was made for me. Mandatory evacuation was called this morning. So I'm now out of harm's way (as much as anyone ever is) and chewing fingernails while watching the storm from a distance.
