Hurricane Ike - finally arriving
After a full day of anticipation and news of catastrophe along the coast, the storm is arriving here in Katy. We're starting to get rain and heavier winds. So far power is holding, but news reports say 725,000 customers have none.
Sadly, KHOU reports that the venerable Houston restaurant Brennan's has "burned to the ground." We had a lovely brunch there after our oldest daughter's confirmation.
UPDATE:
1:35 - More and more bands coming in.
2:30 - Still more intensification. Going to sleep for a few hours.
