Uneventful Afternoon with Ike

It seems that most of the storm has passed the ranch. It's still raining and a bit windy, but nothing more than a heavy rain storm. We are all amazed that we still have power and I now have hope that we will be watching movies in the theatre tonight! We will leave here tomorrow morning and head back to The Woodlands to see how our house stood up to the storm. The reports I'm hearing so far say that pretty much the entire Houston area is without power and it may be up to two weeks before it is fully restored. Bleh. Houston without air conditioning is not a comfortable situation. If there are major power problems and school is cancelled, we may come back to the ranch for a few days. Right now though, everything is still pretty much up in the air.
