Thanks for the photos. The rise in water level from Destin westward has been a surprise. Later in the day of course the weather services have caught up and begun to foretell a pending disaster for the impact area.On my blog at www.wootaah.blogspot.com I have some vids and pics of Ike in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach.
Thanks for the update TexasBama -- if the highways are clear, I certainly hope my brother will re-think his options.BamaLuver - I'm in the Heights northwest of downtown and we're still considering leaving. Figuring that if we get on the road heading west by oneish it'll be ok. The highways are clear.
If Ike does what it looks like he's gonna do, there won't be anyone flying in or out of Houston for several days.I have a flight connecting through Houston tomorrow morning; it was originally scheduled for this evening.
I'm on the phone with Continental right now to push it to Saturday night or Sunday morning. Or, y'know, connecting me through any other city but the epicenter of a huge hurricane.
If I can't get another flight...it's been nice knowin' ya!
