Okay, here’s the deal. Most of coastal Texas is under mandatory evacuation. Houston is starting to close up shop. Southwest has cancelled our flight – and everything else into and out of Houston. Other airlines closed down even sooner.
The medical center generally and MD Anderson specifically has been very busy canceling appointment. We have no news yet. Probably will not have until Monday or Tuesday, depending on what damage Ike inflicts.
We went to the Natural Science Museum today, and even they were bringing in the butterflies from the Butterfly House.
Where we are is not in danger of storm surge. We are on the fifth floor. North side of the building (Ike is coming from the south). So, we are preparing to “hunker down” for the storm.
The last hurricane I endured was “Bob” in 1985. In that case, I was camped out in some woods in Virginia accompanied by a bunch of Boy Scouts. This time, I am at the Holiday Inn with the love of my life.
You figure it out.
