Trouble brewing

Well we're home now! Have been for about a week. It's so nice to be back in our own house after living out of boxes and apartments all summer. The pups are happy to have their backyard back, and all their favorite hiking spot too.

In other news, I've been closely watching the weather the last few days. I'm from hurricane territory and as of today Ike is headed straight for Houston. My parents still live down there in a suburb south-east of town as well as friends scattered all over the place. Thankfully the people who needed to get out have and the rest of them are in for a killer storm. My parents are in an area that will be safe from any water walls or flooding so they just boarded up the windows and will weather the storm, but their not in any real danger. Here's a picture of what's brewing in the gulf.


Cool huh? Nature is amazing... but scary too. Hopefully Ike keeps sucking dry air and stays at a category 2.
