Can you believe how many hurricanes there have been lately?! I know it is hurricane season, but jeez. I have never experienced hurricane-like weather, nor do I ever want to, but listening to the news today, Austin, TX, is expected to feel the effects of a possible category 2 hurricane from Ike (not the picture below, that is Katrina) in a couple days.  I really can’t imagine the people and areas feeling the full strength of Hurricane Ike (possible category 4).  Hurricane Ike? More like Hurricane YIKES!

Even though it is a possible category 2 here, my sister and I decided to go grocery shopping to prepare for some friends and family who might take shelter here instead of the Texas coast.  Hey, it is better to be prepared and ready, which reminds me I need to get some more batteries for my flashlight.  Anyhow, I am hoping it won’t affect Austin too much…or at all.  I hope Hurricane Yikes…I mean Ike loses its strength like some of the other hurricanes this season and not affect too many people on the coast.  Keep safe everyone and take care.
