Ike.

I'm sure everyone has heard by now that there's a big storm coming through Texas. A VERY BIG storm. And according to current projections, our town of College Station is smack dab in the middle of the hurricane's path. Sometime in the middle of the night it will get very, very windy and very, very rainy. Right now we're hearing predictions of 50 mph winds gusting up to 80 mph and 5 inches of rain. Our pantry is stocked, we've loaded up on water and our electric lantern is charging at this very moment. We are prepared to, in the words of a local radio station, "hunker down for a few days."


Over the next several days, we'll try to update our situation on this blog as much as we can. Well, at least until the power goes out. For now, we'll leave you with a picture of the sunset tonight, which gave no indication of the impending storm.
