Re: intensity forecasts for Ike will be a crap shoot

Great, just great. I woke up at 5am on the money to sound of dripping.

I have a small leak in my roof apparently. It has filled the cooler I've placed underneath it up one inch since that time. And it's only coming down in two places one drop at a time...although one right after the other. BOO!

I hope this rain lets up later today so that I can make a run to Home Depot for a few gallons of tar.

Just an FYI....my neighbor came home last night all excited that Home Depot had the metal shutter panels on sale for 60% off. I think maybe I'll get some shutters. Hopefully I won't need them for Ike but atleast I'll have them. Those shutters are the only thing missing from my hurricane preparedness "kit".
