We are watching Ike with a lot of interest. We are about 25 miles NW of Houston. We should be far enough inland to avoid major problems unless Houston takes a direct hit from a III or greater storm. Our problem is that we had 28 varying size pines and a few oaks close enough to fall on the house. We are elevated enough that water should not be a problem...but I do worry about the trees. In any case we will probably hitch up the trailer, close up the place and move father inland. By getting the trailer out of the area, we might be saving us a place to live in.

Of course, I'll have to drop the dipole and lay the vertical down as well. Load up the generator and the fuel cans and take them with us.
