Wind has been blowing from time to time since about 5:00. Power went out for an hour, but fortnately has been restored (for now). So far, about 3 minutes of moderate rain fall.

And, we are still online for the eye.

About 3-4 hours until we get the brunt of it.

Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Spent the day today constructing my "Ike Resistant Bunker". Complete boarding up, stowing away, making the ship tight. Got everything out of the yard except the dog - whose is out there in the wind fast asleep. And we all know to let sleeping dogs lie.

Poor guy is going to get one seriously unfortunate wake up if he doesn't hurry up and decide to come inside!

Have already had to make one serious decision. When the power went out earlier the call was - (1) leave the refrigerator plugged in and have stirred margaritas, or (2) plug the blender into the generator. I'm sure none of you need for me to explain what transpired.

In the immortal words of Randy Quaid (circa 1980 Miller Lite Commercials) - "I'll get back to you soon with more details...." errr, ummmm - as I am able.
