Ouch...looks like I am toast...Just looked at the 8PM EDT forcast and it didn't change from the last one. Austwell Tx. as ground zero. Just across from the bay from me.
Allen I was really just joshing, did you put a voodoo hex on me or some thing????
Well the Boo are on their own I am in full bug out mode now. Now lets see should I take this or that?. Did decide one boo is going with me the tiny Mex. Weeper Dwarf I got from Mantis it wont take up much room.

RE: Hurricane Ike
Hey..... I wouldn't wish a hurricane on anyone. It rained quite a bit before hurricane Dolly, then during hurricane Dolly... and has rained almost every day since. We have schools that are having problems with sewage backing up still. We really need a big break.
Bring your boo on down here and hang out with us... we can watch it on TV.

I'm hoping it was a typo, and you mean "wouldn't".
Re: RE: Hurricane Ike
Wow! Is it still alive? Hope so. That plant has been very slow to upsize, so if it doesn't make it you might have to wait another year or two before I can cut off another little clump.marcat wrote:Did decide one boo is going with me the tiny Mex.

RE: Hurricane Ike
As of 11am EDT, it now looks like Marcat might be in trouble. It may even go further north before it is over, but (sigh.....) it looks like Ike will leave me alone.......
RE: Hurricane Ike
Anyone wondered were I live just follow the center line of the cone of probability and you will trip over my place. Aimed right at me. Now this is getting personal, Ike kepp on coming and when you get here do not bother looking for me I will not be here. P.S. you better leave my Boo's alone.
Ah well back to packing.

Re: RE: Hurricane Ike
Sorry to hear that you're in the path, it's looks like a big one. Good luck with your evacuation and I pray that your property will come through unscaved. We on the upper Gulf Coast are relieved but at the expense of someone else; it's never a good deal. Well, I guess I should go out and pick up limbs left by the last storm and try to mow without bogging the mower again.marcat wrote:Anyone wondered were I live just follow the center line of the cone of probability and you will trip over my place.

Are you hoping for some rain out of this one?
