Blogging Ike- ABC 13 live coverage online
It’s past midnight and there will be no sleeping in our house tonight I’m afraid. The winds are blasting the house and make a constant fearsome noise. Rain is falling in waves, sideways at times. We still have no power as I figured we wouldn’t but I’m able to watch live coverage of Hurricane Ike on the great continual live coverage on ABC 13”s web site. They are streaming the full coverage that they are showing on TV for those who have no power. They have just reported that current figures from the power companies indicate over 800,000 have lost power so far. The eye of the storm is not expected to hit our area (northwest) until after 4:30 this morning so we have a long way to go.

Are you on a generator, or just have that many batteries?
We have an event there @ the stadium later next week. I am guessing those generators and the point to point wireless service we ordered will be unlikely.
Hang in there, and stay safe inside, away from the windows, all that good stuff!
Good luck, I hope you and your family stays safe and dry.
Wow, I am watching the live news feed and wow.
Stay safe!

Hi James, They crossed to that coverage on TV3 News (New Zealand) tonight. As soon as I saw it thought of you. Hope you all get through OK.
Clear Lake is completely underwater!
When even the lakes are under water, you know you are in trouble!
Good Luck!
