I thought I would duck in here quickly and post a link that my son sent me to a great website where you can track the storm in real time. As some of you know, he works in Chevron's IT department in San Ramon, CA as a Security Analyst. His job is to keep Chevron's servers, located around the world, secure and running smoothly. His department is on pins and needles as Ike bears down on Houston. Houston is one of Chevron's primary headquarters. He will be monitoring this situation closely over the next couple days.
Of course, whenever a storm this fierce hits populated areas, lives are at stake, and that is everyone's first concern.
Watch the storm in progress in full screen
There are several tools on the StormPulse screen to move forward in time and to track the projected path and wind speeds. You can also find the distance, in miles and projected time, from the storm to various cities. It's a very interesting site.
It does not look good for Freeport, Galveston and Houston right now. Everyone in Ike's path, please be careful and let us know how you are doing after the danger is over and you can get back to us. You know how we worry about our FRiends.
Love the wearing red blanket/red barn opener!!
A real eye catcher!Intrieging...
