Hey guys - In case you were wondering, Houston is doing OK with the hurricane. About 500,000 people in the costal areas are without power. We've been having intermittant power blips at my house. We are 1 of 3 households on my street that decided to ride this thing out rather than play with all the yankees in the evacuation efforts. I'm glad we stayed.

At the moment, winds are about 35mph sustained with gust up to 50-60 mph. There is only light rain at the moment. Anyhow, I woke up about 30 minutes ago, it's 4:somthing am, I'm drinking beer and have nothing better to do than update the internet with how we're doing.

I'll keep you guys updated so long as I have power.
