Well Ike seems to be taking aim on the freeport, texas area which will put Houston in the path and on the dirty side of the storm. We are about 70 miles or so inland, but most likely get Cat 1 winds with the eye passing close to us. We are located 25 miles NW of downtown Houston.
Guess we'll have to make the decision on staying or moving more inland. We have 28 trees around the house that could potentially fal on the house, garage, shop or RV and most are pines...80' plus tall. I don't want to have them falling on the vintage trailer, so we may well bail out anyway.
Have to take the antennas down in any case.
