Hurricane Ike Update #9




Friday, September 12, 2008, 6:38pm

So, apparently Ike is "tightening" as it's reaching the shore. Apparently the storms normally are downgraded a Category as they get closer to land, but for some reason the eye is getting smaller, which is worse.

Above is a picture of the ER door, and a backup air conditioner that was placed in the ER. And the third picture is a view from the ER (we're not allowed outside anymore). It's starting to get really gray and rainy.

There's also a yacht building that caught fire, and the fire engines are 400 feet away and can't get any closer due to the flooding.

As I was just typing this, we lost power. So I don't know how much more I'm going to be able to write or call. I'll try my best to keep everyone updated. I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to get a little down. I'm worried about my apartment and thinking of everyone up north.
