It looks like the rush for supplies finally began and I also assume that the hurricane parties have also commenced. As I was picking up last minute supplies, many owners were boarding up windows and closing for the day. At a store I was at earlier, pretty much all fresh fruits were gone, canned goods were sold out and bottled water was in short supply. Some shopping carts I saw were full of beer opposed to water, the reasons for which I don’t know and probably will never understand. Across Houston many gas stations were closed since they ran out of gas and those that had gas had 30+ cars waiting. Fortunately we have the supplies that we need and all we can do now is bunker down and hope for the best.
From the latest weather predictions, it looks like Hurricane Ike is starting to change course to a more northern direction. Hopefully for us in Houston, this won’t mean much but there are already concerns about the storm surge in some areas of Harris County. The Mayor of Houston has already stated that the city will be closed tomorrow and many companies have already shutdown businesses for today to allow their employees to prepare. For the most part, things in Houston are calm and there’s the normal line of people at the fuel pumps waiting to gas up their cars and people picking up last minute supplies from the grocery stores. All we can do right now is watch the storm and hope that nothing major will occur.
Anyone who is interested in following the storm, take a look at the KHOU site. They have a pretty good path overlay with the major Texas cities listed.
