Ya. Imagine my excitement at hearing about Ike. :P

Port Arthur is about seventy miles *points* that-a-way.
( East / NorthEast ) About forty miles or so from the
LA border.

I refuse to leave myself. Not going to sit in that
bumper to bumper parking lot. Definitely not going
to do it with a loud and obnoxious parrot in the car
with me. We'll just batten down the hatches, shake
our fist at the sky ( You call this a storm ?! ) and
ride it out.

The only thing I hate about the storms is the power
loss. Oh and the damn mosquitoes. . . .
