Hurricane Ike update

At about 5:45AM this morning, we lost power.  I’m on UPS power for now, but I’ll probably shut things down in the next few minutes to save power.

We’re fine.  Our apartment building is thick concrete and our windows face a side street with minimal exposure.  We haven’t had any water leaks at all.

I feel so bad for the rest of Houston, though.  Tonight’s winds were something else, pretty darned loud, and I’ve heard from a few of my Twitter peeps (the ones who still have power) that they’re having roof problems.

We’ll stick around through Sunday, but if we don’t get power back by then, we’ll hit the road north to check into a hotel.

Best wishes and prayers to everybody who got socked by this thing.

I’ll be updating my Twitter feed with news.
