Looks like I’m going to be in a hurricane
You would think Austin, 180 miles from the coast, would be safe from any hurricane. Not true as I’m finding out this week. Hurricane Ike is barrelling down on the Texas Gulf Coast and moving at such a speed as to possibly be a Category 2 when it arrives into Central Texas. Luckily for me, the path has slided over to the east a few hundred miles–not so lucky for Houston. Austin should only get Tropical Storm force winds, but there could be Hurricane winds if it comes ashore southwest of the projection.
