Hurricane Ike
Posted by: Exiled Highlander on 13 September 2008
As I sit here safely just outside of Chicago my thoughts are with the many friends and acquaintances that I have in the Houston area. I have tried reaching many of them by phone, text etc with no luck except for one who, as the facility manager for her office building, has a company issued satellite phone for emergencies like these. She and her kids are shaken but OK thankfully.
I have been through a number of tropical storms in my time but never a fully fledged Category 2/3 hurricane and my thoughts go out to all of them and their families. I hope they are all OK. Those of you of a religious persuasion could do worse than give a little prayer to your God for all of those affected.
This puts all the petty arguments about dual power supplies for 555's, DAC's etc into some sort of context I think...
