Watching Ike Through the Night

Watching Ike Through the Night

Watching Ike Through the Night, originally uploaded by crossmage.

After Ike had knocked out power, I kept watch over the storm and my company’s communications. This was my workstation on battery power, air card, a transistor radio for the news, my windows mobile phone, candles and a flashlight. Keeping watch over my responsibilities…

Isn’t this just fantastic? Computer running on battery power and desk lit by candles right during the strongest point of IKE. What a memorable shot! Great job James!

Hurricane Ike 2008

Hurricane Ike 2008. What to say?

Our family evacuated at 11am on Thursday to Austin, Texas to my brother-in-law’s house as well as my sister-in-law’s parents house. My in-laws and Matt’s 98 year old grandmother is also with is. We are sooo thankful for Dan and Margaret and their family for taking us in and feeding us. Mason loves Mr. Jim and his fish pond.

We have been lucky to be able to spend more time with our new 5 month old niece too!

All we could do was watch TV and stay connected via web, email and Twitter, thank god.

We are so thankful to my sister and neighbors who have given us updates on our house and city. Apparently our house is fine on the outside but a down fence. No idea what the inside is like, I hope dry.

It’s Sunday night at about 11pm and our house still has no power. As soon as it does we are going home, but taking it day by day. Matt, Mason and I got to go out for a bit. For a second I thought this was a vacation but need to save money since we have no idea what supplies we may need. We went to Luby’s for dinner, took Mason to play at Zilker Park until dark, then headed to Austin Java on Barton Springs to relax. We needed the time on our own for a bit and it was a beautiful night.

Austin Java hitting the spot!

This is a photo of Chevron, where I work. I’m not in this building but across the street and there are many windows out there too. I will be out of work at least until Thursday since schools are also out.

Chevron [Enron Tower] lost some windows during Hurricane Ike.

Back to more news coverage.

Miss all our Houston area friends and family and wishing the best.
