Thanks all for your kind words of support. After a less that restful night I woke to find Ike took a southward turn. Not to say we won't get some pretty stiff winds but at least when I smile I won't loose my false teeth.

Will still have to keep my eye on him but Ike should be not as much of a threat for me.

But as/if Ike heads in to the Gulf OB and my other friend along the gulf of mexico may be in danger.
