T&T: Ike

[Larry N. Brown]

Well, Ike's 256 miles SSE of us on its way-- or so it appears-- to Galveston.
We've been getting steady winds in the 10-15 kt range and a little rain.
Nexrad just shows sporadic areas of showers. Real problem is my dock's under
the muddy waters of the Tchefuncte River and my 240v power panel has about a
foot to go. When it starts to lap at the bottom of the box, I'll have to shut
the power off at the house and crank the generator. I can go up another couple
feet here at the dock but if the water continues to rise, I'll have to pull up
the stakes and head for the cove once again.

Regards,
