It's 3:31am and I can hear the wind through the trees and the rain coming down in sheets and apparently we're not supposed to have hurricane force winds for another hour. What we're experiencing here in The Woodlands right now are tropical storm force winds and all I have to say is wow!! Because what I'm hearing and seeing are strong enough for me, I can't imagine what will be coming our way come 5am...
I was in a dead sleep until 2:46am when I woke up for some reason and could hear noises from outside. The kids are happily sleeping through this and hopefully they'll continue to do so for the next few hours.
We just plugged in the tv to get an update and the eye of Ike made landfall on Galveston at 2:10am. It is estimated now that 1.2 million people are without power. Our clock radio was flashing when I woke up - we had a brief power outage around 1:30am.
It's looking like we're not the only folks up at this hour. The houses behind us are now all lit up too.
