Hurricane Ike: Its Bad Here But It Could Be Worse
by John Little on 13/09/2008The past few hours have been pretty intense. We expected the eye to pass over but we ended up riding its Western edge the entire time. We’ve seen no letup in Ike’s intensity. In fact, it seems to get worse by the hour.
Trees have been ripped apart, parts of the building’s siding have been ripped off, and the bayou next to us (I-10 and Studemont) is rising to frightening levels. I think we are in for some severe flooding. Yet somehow, through all of this, electricity and internet remain functional.
My personal safety isn’t an issue. I can go up several floors if catastrophic flooding occurs and I have to say that I can’t imagine it not occurring at the moment. I hope that the rain lets up.
