I took these photographs around 7:00 p.m. local time.
I felt I was foolhardy to be driving around at that hour, as the wind was picking up quite a bit. This even more foolhardy person was taking advantage of the wind to fly a kite.
Many local business have boarded up their windows, and they have some choice words to say about Hurricane Ike.
"Friendly Donuts Open" (I doubt it.)
"Don't Like Ike Wife Beater!"
"Bring it on"
"Just Like... Ike and Tina..." (with picture of a hurricane)
"We're rollin' down the river" (with picture of a boat)
"Take A Hike IKE!" with picture of hurricane track
This neighbor created some art in their driveway for the storm.
