Yikes Ike

At the beginning of last week hurricane Ike was dead-on for Palacios. As the week progressed we watched as Ike slowly began to turn more North/East towards Houston, and the 'cone of death' left our direct aim. Tom secured a few more lines before he left on Wednesday for Austin to spend some time with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson. He returned today to find Refugio floating fine. The water level is still pretty high and we did have a few lines come loose, but Refugio rode out the hurricane fine. In the last photo you can see some debris on the grass, so during the storm the water rose to over 5 feet. We are fortunate and are extremely happy to still have our boat intact. Our thoughts and prayers are with those that were not so fortunate throughout this hurricane.
