Hurricane Ike update

Well we sat out the storm safely in Corpus. We initially went to Lake Jackson because the early forecast was to hit in Corpus but the storm had other thoughts. We waited for Tina to get off of work and returned to Corpus that same day. By the way, it was Raeyana's first of many roadtrips with Nana and Granpeasy. She did very well. (See picture of Erika with baby in Lake Jackson). The update on Ike is that it appears to have gone in on the east side of Galveston hopefully limiting damage in Lake Jackson. Reports are of no power and downed trees making navigation thru city difficult and unsafe. LJ officials are cautioning people not to return yet. We will keep checking the city web page.
