DISQUS

Hey Patrick,

I know it seems like a technicality, but actually the storm would have been a tropical depression at best by the time it got there. I live in East Texas, and got side-swiped by the storm just east of us (luckily).

I can't even imagine what it must be like down around Galveston, Houston and Conroe where the storm hit full force and remained an actual hurricane for 150 miles inland or so ...

On another note, you've got a great blog here! I'll have to add it to my daily reading routine. :)

@Michael: Thanks for the reading michael, and yes I am thankful I didn't get the full force from the hurricane, but it was the oddest weather I've ever seen in this area. The wind just blew nonstop at 80 mph for 8 hours. It didn't seem like it would ever let up, it was very ominous.

There were so many sirens going off, and you could hear trees snapping all around, it was actually pretty scary. I actually saw three squirrels fly past my window, poor guys lol.

Yeah, that's crazy. Our Cincinatti office was out of power for a few days because of Ike.
