Hurricane Ike- Update #1

The "Garvey Cave" is ready !!!!!
Well we've boarded up the house and prepared for this monster storm that is upon us. We have decided to ride the storm out at the house. There are several families on our street also doing the same, so we feel pretty safe at this point. It's strange to be inside, with no means of seeing anything outside. We ran to the store this morning and it felt like Christmas Day with Plywood everywhere. Not to much traffic in the neighborhood, just a very peaceful calm before the storm. After 5 1/2 years, this is our "first" and hopefully last official hurricane.
I took some pictures this morning as we were preparing. My plan is to take more pictures and make several updates as the afternoon and evening roll in.

The final remodel

The back yard- is ready for Ike !!!


Sierra loving the cooler weather and clueless to what's to come


It's now 1:45pm and the wind is starting to blow a little stronger, and we have just felt the first sprinkles of the storm. Much of Galveston is already flooding due to the storm surge. I think we're in for a long night and morning. Keep us in your prayers !!! love Greg and Tina
