Hurricane Ike wind speeds

Posted by Dave | Filed under Personal, Science

According to the City of Houston’s wind speed charts, our neighborhood will be experiencing 79MPH winds later today.  I suspect Galveston will be experiencing the full force of the hurricane speed winds.  The farther south you go, the faster the winds get.

Stay safe, everyone.  This will be a gully-washer for sure.

    Wow! Hope you’re able to stay safe. Thinking of REO Speedwagon’s “Ridin’ The Storm Out” now…

    Thanks Heather. It should be a wild ride. I have my iPod charged up with some good tunes.

    We’re in 77007 too, and we’re having our unruly trees trimmed as we speak. 79mph probably isn’t SO bad though, but better safe than sorry. I had visons of them coming through our living room windows.
