Hurricane Ike: Gusting winds and rain continues

It is raining like crazy now...It feels like it wants to come inside; I hope the window holds. I've placed a piece of plastic there just in case it does not...

The power keeps taking a hit; you can hear the refrigerator's motor dips each time the power fluctuates.

Landfall was 2:10a, at Galveston. The eye is over Galveston now, so about 50 miles away from me.

Clint (Smith) and his partner, Matt, didn't evacuate from Galveston. Spoke w/ them this morning. Clint was near to hysterical. They took in water, up through their floor boards, about 3 -4 inches. At one point, they were afraid the house was going to wash away. They spent a good portion of the night up in the attic. He was traumatized. No electricity, of course, and no way to leave their house as it is flooded all around them.
