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.
