So far we have received no rain from Ike. There's a cool breeze coming from the east. Last night the Frost Bank Tower glowed with sunset. Texas is such a big state that it swallowed a giant hurricane. This guy was 'only' a fierce Cat 2 (almost Cat 3) but it was a big-shouldered monster. While 110 mph winds crashed all the way into downtown Houston apparently, Austin has yet to see rain. In fact the latest chances for rain are less than fifty percent. If you saw pictures of the size of this thing, you can appreciate this anomaly. I am glad a number of people sheltered here and, apparently, also escaped concomitant bad weather. Having said this, and this being Texas, I'm probably calling down unexpected weather events on our Capital City.
