Well Ike is here... We're sitting in the dark as the power is out - I am posting this from my blackberry.
It's pretty windy to be honest... The walls are moving a bit at the moment which is, um, interesting.
We have a chance of having the eye go over us which will give us an hour of respite but it could miss us in which case we have about 4 to 6 more hours of this.
I will never moan about hurricanes missing us again :-)
But we're both fine and looking forward to daybreak!
UPDATE
It's about 6am now and we're in the thick of things and this is nuts... We had to turn up the radio as we couldn't hear it over the storm (that is when they're on air)
The windows are bowing, the walls are moving and the floor is shaking...debris is hitting the windows and we have 3 to 4 hours to go...
But we're still ok and we're STILL waiting for daybreak! And the good news is that it's moving a bit quicker...
UPDATE 2
Ok - we have daylight... That was a long night!
We've taken a look around - we can see three downed trees from the front porch... So far ours have survived but we're roughly halfway through at the moment.
The yard is a bit flooded but not so much as to need any action yet.
We have 4 hours to go... Woohoo! Time for a beer I guess.

I survived one on my own in the mid-80s but it sounds like I had an easier time of it. Very relieved to hear that you both are unscathed and your beautiful new home has made it through as well.
