Aftermath!

The dreaded Hurricane Ike has blown everyone away that wasn't swallowed by the floods! Well at least I hear that's what happened on the coast. But here in Aggieland all it managed to do was knock down a few branches, the occasional small tree, and barely water the grass before the sun came out later the same day. This is the one branch in our yard that was sizeable enough to notice, and that's Moki playing in it. So much for clearing out the store shelves and cancelling school in anticipation! Aw well, who can complain about a long weekend? :)

Hurricane day!

The impending doom of Hurricane Ike has shut down everything in the College Station - Bryan area for today! All the schools, even the entire University are closed mostly to offer more space for Houston/Galveston evacuees in town. But no class for me so can't complain! Ironically school has been cancelled for weather and it's sunny and breezy outside right now. The storm is expected to hit us here this far inland as a category 1 hurricane bascially so LOTS of rain, wind, and all the inconveniences of power outages and flooding. I tried to go to the store to stock up on snacks and batteries just in case and there wasn't even a hint of bread, milk, water, or fresh fruit anywhere. All the evacuees cleaned the groceries out and all the college kids who are out of school cleaned up all traces of alcohol too!

Last night we went to Hurricane Harry's, a local bar and drank hurricanes! I'm sure that place just loves hurricanes because everyone was there just for the irony. A lot of my classmates were there so they finally got to meet Simon and I got some fabulously tacky dancing from Courtney so it was all good! And now I have an extra day to study...yay...

Dr. Moki says stay safe from the hurricane if you're in its path and if not then don't dress up your pets just because you're bored :)
