[Mgs] Hurricane Ike

[Rick Lindsay]

Thanks Dan.  This storm is a real pisser.  I'm in Kansas City waiting for a flight to Chicago!  My wife is in Houston. :-(  Fortunately, we live about 30 miles NW of Houston, near Tomball, and are in a new(ish) home.  We (she) should be fine.  I finish a lecture tour this afternoon but as HOU and IAH are both closed, I can't get home until either Saturday night or some time Sunday - if even then.

Add to that, the driver's window on Nancy's Land Rover chose this week to fail - in the down position.  We got it fixed but the vehicle wasn't back until last night.  It just added to the stress of the situation.  I forsee a trade-in in the near future.  Perhaps a BMW X3...

So, the bottom line is, NW Houston is (relatively) high ground and the house is strong.  We (she) should be fine.

Thanks so much for the concern.  Lots of folks there are in tougher situations than we are.  Lets hope Ike isn't as bad as the forecasters predict...

Rick
