Ugh! Still watching/waiting

Okay so just as it is with hurricanes.... still watching/waiting...you can only predict and forecast so far out on the where and when it will make landfall. Today we were hoping to get a better idea of which direction it would go. And now on one of the current forecast projections at of 2:00 PM it shows one line landing a little more North right into the Houston area. See blue pathway on picture above. So what does that mean for us... a possible touch with the dirty side of a cat 3 hurricane, maybe. I just got word from the school district that we are in CCISD Clear Creek Independent School District that ..."Due to the treat of Hurricane Ike the CCISD will close schools on Friday Sept. 12th. All extracurricular activities and athletic events will cease at the close of school on Thursday. It is difficult to pinpoint when a storm is going going to make landfall and the best we can do is be prepared and informed....". With that said it means we are going to look into making a plan to evacuate to our cousins place in the next day or so. I am sure many of the other normal goings on in the area will change too in the next day or so. I am sure by Thursday night/Friday AM we will have made a definite decision on what we will do. Keep us in your thoughts. Ugh! I really miss the surprise of earthquakes, a little less stressful then the watching and waiting.
