Default Hurricane Ike effects here...

It's amazing how one of these storms can be so far away and some effect still be noticed. We're 400+ miles, almost due north, of Hurricane Ike at the moment. Sunny outside, a few clouds in the sky and 77 degrees here. Humidity low for this time of year, much lower than yesterday. We have a constant light breeze out of the northeast. I'm no meteorologist but I suspect the breeze is caused by Ike and the dryer cooler temperature is being drawn down from the north. Wish he would hang around there a day or two and keep this old country boy a little cooler a few days. But if he stops, he will most likely only get stronger, so we sure don't need that.

Looks as though Texas is going to get some good winds from Ike and a soaking as well. You guys out there "grab a root and hang on".
