Been there, done that. Hurricane Hugo was the one I went through. We spent 2 weeks without power after the storm. You take for granted how dependant you are on electricity until you loose it.
If you haven't done so, get prepaired. Don't forget to make sure your pets are well taken care of also. I'm sure you have a list of suggested items that you should have so I'm not going to repeat them here.
Be careful during the aftermath. Alot of people get hurt while trimming trees because they fail to realize the pressure and tension that the tree is under and the chain saw will kick back on them. Also, if you deside to use a generator, make sure not to hook it up to your power main without disconnecting your service from the power grid. Back flow of electricity can kill.
Zub... I wish you and yours the best and I hope all goes well for you.

Is monitoring this forum part of the typical "prep"

While you've still got power it is 
all jokes aside stay safe

Looks like tornado country is going to get a hurricane! 
I think we're ready. Shelves stocked, hatches battened, generator ready.
Be safe Zub..............

I read on Yahoo news Oz that Hurricaine Ike is a very large storm with strong winds and a lot of rain, so to all in its path, keep safe and I hope you all come out of it relatively unshathed.

It's expected to roll on top of us around 12-6PM
We're ready

For those community members that are in the path of Ike be safe and when time and conditions permit let the rest of use know how you are doing. Couldn't do with any of you having major problems at all.

We've lost power 3 times so far. Didn't really expect it to come back on, since we were warned that there would be no work done on the power lines until the storm is gone. But the storm isn't here yet. I'm about an hour east of Pictoratus, so it should hit, and there in about the same time frame.

It's 4:30. Saturday.
Power is back on (along with internet). Doubt it will last long. Storm was intense but kids slept through it.
The fence between us and the neighbor on the west fell over and the guy to the east of us had a tree fall across our yard and hit our mailbox. A random CPA with a chainsaw driving around helped us cut down the tree. I figure he was an angel sent by my uncle John.
Spent day cleaning the block helping neighbors. Glad we stayed.
Will post pix later.
Thanks for the prayers.

Hey there Zubaz, Koasati I don't know what to say, I've typed at least 5 sentences here, but they all sounded stupid, just please be careful and come through this safe, God bless

Thank goodness you and yours are OK Zubs... looks like Ike took down a few trees, but thanfully you didn't suffer any major structural damage to your home. 
I hope everyone else who was in Ike's path is OK, safe and well also.

Thanks.
We're expecting 75+ mph winds here and lots of rain. I expect to lose some trees (or large branches) and power for a bit.
Thanks again for the good thoughts.
