If You’re the Praying Type . . .
. . . and even if (like me) you’re not, please point your thoughts towards those about to receive the full fury of Hurricane Ike. Fellow blogger Jim of Smoke on the Water and I traded emails yesterday. Jim recently moved off his 30′ sloop New Dawn into one of the stilt-mounted houses common in Galveston. He has sent his significant other off to safety, but decided to ride out the storm in Galveston. He wasn’t clear on whether he was staying in the house, or just someplace nearby.
The storm surge is predicted to top 22′.
I doubt his house stilts are quite that tall.
Good luck, brother. I’ll be waiting to hear from you.
