Hurricane Ike On the Road Update 6

In the wee hours of the morning here. Winds finally were getting up high enough it was forcing some water around the window seals in the building, but the glass held. Not sure what the winds speeds where at this high up on the 6th floor. It got to roaring pretty good there for a while and then it stopped just like that as the eye came over.

It’s cloudy in the eye, but the moonlight is giving an eerie glow to everything and you can just make out things down on the ground, but there is also a spooky fog that is settling in.

We can see various amounts of damage around the condo here with our spotlights. Took a trip down to street level with security and the flood waters, at least here, have receded back a block or two. This building sits on a little bit of a hill two blocks from the beach.

After the eye passes I think we are going to try and get a couple hours of sleep so we can be out at first light. Sorry, no video blog this time.
