Didn't think hurricanes were much of an issue in MISSOURI

Ike's been a bitch all over the place. Even here!
Here are the soccer fields Noe used to play on- her friends played a game here on Saturday. Not sure how deep it is, but I do know that the water has left only about a foot of the goalposts showing.

Yuck! Ike canceled everything here this weekend and then we didn't get a drop of rain or a puff of wind. I feel bad for the people it's screwing life up for though. :( istillhopewegettogonourcruisenextmonth

I'm glad you guys are OK. Weird that you didn't get anything! Oh no! What's gonna happen with the cruise? Can they port somewhere else or is the Galveston port OK? We took a cruise out of there once. Wow. Let me know, I'm curious!

[ginky]

We have no info, right now the port is closed indefinitely. They're docking the cruises out right now in New Orleans.

I'm glad you guys are ok.

Oh we're fine. Flood insurance makes total sense now though. Seriously, anywhere can flood- now I've really seen it firsthand! Lots of people in STL are screwed. One of the busiest roads here flooded, and had lumber floating down the road- which means that my favorite camera shop flooded since it shared a parking lot with the lumberyard. I'm curious to see what happened there- that place is a lifeblood to the photography/video community here. They also do vintage photo restoration and hopefully didn't lose anybody's stuff. :P- Not to mention the probably millions of dollars of equipment they have in the store

Thanks hon, you too.

Ike caused serious rain and flooding in Michigan too...
