Looks like they're forecasting 76 MPH winds for us this evening. We'll clear out the backyard and Julie will probably make me put up some plywood (Aidan and I built some storm shutters last year). I can hear our neighbors putting up wood now.
Its actually kind of nice out right now. We're going for a bike ride. I'll grab some pics of the preparations that people are making around the neighborhood.
For all those that might be worried, this neighborhood did really well against a direct hit by Hurricane Alicia back in '83. Ike looks a lot like Alicia. With wood over the windows, I'm not worried about safety at all. Its the power outages that I'm dreading. More throughout the day and night :)
