I Don't Like Ike

Well, I decided on Wednesday that if we had to leave anyway, we may as well not drag our feet about it. We secured the homestead as best we could and made for my mother's house some 85 miles inland.
We had canned goods, clothes for a couple of days, a very apprehensive cat (Poor Mr. Boots!), and a sad feeling about leaving our home. We drove off, and I prayed the house would still be standing when we returned.
After monitoring the situation from the new "command center" in Prairie Lea- we were very happy that the storm has turned quite northernly, and although Victoria will be hit with wind and rain, we are far from the direct hit we were expecting.
Of course, our good news is someone else's bad news, and I pray for all in the path of this storm.
