Hurricane Ike is almost here

Well it looks like within 12 hours Ike will be hitting the Gulf Coast of Texas. It's supposed to hit Galveston/Houston and then turn north and head toward us here in East Texas. The wind is starting to pick up here. I have things I think we will need. We have already had a fatality accident in our town on the evacuation route. Just now on the news it's saying the eye is contracting and the pressure will start to drop and Ike could go to a 3 instead of a 2. So you all please remember us in the path of this LARGE hurricane. That is another thing they are talking about is how big he is.
